How will the product change if: one factor is increased 3 times, and the other one is decreased 6 time

Algebra

The product will be reduced 2 times i.e the product will be reduced to half

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the product be and the two of its factors are a and b

So = ×

Now if the factor is increased 3 times, then the new factor will be

so

The other factor is decreased 6 times, then the new factor will be

so

So the new product =

⇒ = 3××

So  

Hence, the product will be reduced 2 times i.e the product will be reduced to half
