OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Here, the original number is 9.1. You multiply it by 101. Is 101 greater than or less than 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

greater

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Right, so since 101 is greater than 1, when you multiply a positive number by it, the result gets even larger.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If you multiply a positive number by a number greater than 1, the answer will be greater than the original number. If you multiply a positive number by a number less than 1, the answer will be less than the original number.
