Explain why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explain why multiplying a given number by a fraction between 0 and 1 results in a product less than the given number; and relate the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (a x n)/(b x n) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.
