Is the product of 2 decimals less than one is less than either of the factor all the time?
Yes.
When one factor is less then 1 is the product greater or less than the other 2 factors?
If there are three factors, then one of them being less than 1 does not imply anything about the product of all three and either of the other two factors. For example, 2 = 0.5*1*4 where the first factor is less than 1. The product 2 is less than one of the other factors but bigger than the last.
What are two decimals that have product less than 1?
0.1 x 0.2
Why is the product of two decimals each less than one be less than one?
because you multiplying by 9
Can the product of two numbers be less than either of the numbers?
If one of the numbers is negative, but the other is positive, then the product is negative - and therefore smaller than both numbers in the question. For example, 2 x -4 = -8. ===================================== Another contributor added: Also, whenever the absolute magnitude of both factors is less than ' 1 ', the absolute magnitude of the product is less than either factor.
What do you notice about the relationship between the factors and the product when multiplying two decimals less than 1?
The factors are greater than the product.
When is the product of two decimals less than both factors?
when the numbers are between 0 and 1
Is the product of 2 decimals less than one is less than either of the factor all the time?
Yes.
When you multiply two thirds by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factors?
The product is less than either factor.
If you multiply two decimals less than 1 can you predict wether the product will be less than or greater than either of the factors?
Fractional multiplication results are always less than any of the factors. You can't hit ugly with an ugly stick and expect to get pretty. The above answer is only true is both your fractions are non-negative (in addition to being less than 1.
If you multiply two decimals less than 1 can you predict whether the product will be less or greater than either of the factors?
No, you cannot. The answer can be greater than (or less than) neither, one or both numbers.For example,-4.5 and -2.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 9.9 which is greater than both.-4.5 and 0.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 0.9 which is less greater than one and less than the other.0.5 and 0.2 are both less than 1. Their product is 0.01 which is less than both.
When one factor is less then 1 is the product greater or less than the other 2 factors?
If there are three factors, then one of them being less than 1 does not imply anything about the product of all three and either of the other two factors. For example, 2 = 0.5*1*4 where the first factor is less than 1. The product 2 is less than one of the other factors but bigger than the last.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
What are two decimals that have product less than 1?
0.1 x 0.2
Why is the product of two decimals each less than one be less than one?
because you multiplying by 9
What do you know about the product if one of the factors is less than one?
The product will be less than the other factor.
When is then product of a negative integer and a positive integer less than both of its factors?
This is a clever question. I would say: "Always". To be more precise: The product is never greater than either factor, and if neither factor is ' 1 ', then the product is always less than both.
