Carly claims that multiplication always makes a number bigger.  They gave the following examples:

If I take 6, and I multiply it by 4, I get 24, which is bigger than 6.

If I take 1/4, and I multiply it by 2 (whole number), I get 2/4, or 1/2, which is bigger than 1/4.

Is their reasoning right or wrong? Why?

• Yes, 1/4 x 2 = 2/4, which is bigger than 1/4.

• No, multiplying a fraction less than one by a fraction does not produce a bigger number.

• No, because 24 is smaller than 6.

• Yes, numbers get bigger whenever you multiply.
