"The product of two positive real numbers x and y with x<y is:
A)is always less than x
B)always greater than y
C)can be neither equal to x nor equal to y
D) always between x and y
E)can be greater than y or less than x"
I think the answer is always greater than y since x is less than than y and they're both positive numbers. Can't be C because 1x2=2 which is equal to y. I don't thiink it's A or E because it can't be less than x. Do you guys think that the option B is right?

take a note that values are positive real, so they can be less than 1
if x<1, y*x will be less than y

right so if x is 0.2 and y is 0.3 then the product is 0.06 which is less than y, does this make sense?
