Can multiplying two fractions result in a product smaller than either one of the factors? Explain your answer using at least three examples.

Sometimes, fractions can be written in 'improper' form, meaning that the top number (numerator) is bigger than the bottom number (denominator). So anything multiplied by a fraction like this will give a bigger number.

For example:
5 × 2/1 = 10
10 x 10/1 = 100
