Explain why multiplying a whole number by a fraction can still give a fraction less than 1.
Because the fraction represents part of 1, not a whole.
Explain how you can tell (without solving) if a multiplication problem with fractions will be greater than 1.
Look at whether the fraction is greater or less than 1 and how many groups there are.
