Carly claims that multiplication always makes a number bigger. He 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 14, and I multiply it by 2 (whole number), I get 24, or 12, which is bigger than 14.
Carly’s reasoning is incorrect. Give an example that proves she is wrong, and explain her mistake using pictures, words, or numbers.
