A mixed number must have an integer part (and a fractional part). Consequently, a mixed number must be greater than one. The reciprocal of a number greater than one is less than one (and conversely) since the two, when multiplied together, make 1.

Is the product of a mixed number between 4 and 5 and a fraction between 0 and 1 is always less than 4?

To answer this question, we can consider the range of possible values for the product. A mixed number between 4 and 5 can be written as a number greater than or equal to 4 but less than 5. When multiplied by a fraction between 0 and 1, the product will always be less than the original mixed number. This is because multiplying by a fraction less than 1 will always result in a smaller value. Therefore, the product of a mixed number between 4 and 5 and a fraction between 0 and 1 will always be less than 4.
