the answer is 0.5
To make the product equal to 3.2, multiply by one. To make the product greater or lesser than 3.2 multiply by a number greater or lesser than one, respectively.
No, this statement is not true. When you multiply a number by another number less than 1, the product will be smaller than the first number. For example, multiplying 5 by 0.5 gives a product of 2.5, which is smaller than 5.
It depends. If you start with a positive number, then multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater; multiply by 1 and the answer is the same; multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller; multiply by 0 and the answer is 0; multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.
It can be greater than or less than it.
When you multiply two numbers greater than one, you create many groups of a given number, so the result is greater than either the number of groups or the number you created many groups of. When you multiply a number by a number less than one, you create less than one group of a given number. If you create only part of one group of a given number, it makes sense that the result will be less than the number you started with.
If you multiply your number by any number greater than 1, the result will be greater than the starting number - assuming your number is positive. If your number is negative, you need to multiply it by any number less than 1, to get a result that is greater than the original number. To get a number that is slightly greater, multiply by a number that is slightly greater than 1 (ot slightly lee than= -1).
product of a fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than or less than the whole Number
Products will be greater unless your number set includes a number less than 1.
When you multiply a number by 1, it stays the same. When you multiply a number by a number greater than 1, it increases. When you multiply a number by a number that is less than 1 (a proper fraction), it decreases.
If you multiply a number by a number greater than 1, you get a result that's greater than the first number. Example: 8 x 2 = 16; 16 is greater than 8.If you multiply a number by a number less than 1, you get a result that's less than the first number. Example 1: 8 x 0.5 = 4, which is less than 8. Example 2: 8 x (-1) = -8, which is also less than 8.
