What a decimal number less than 1 times another decimal number less than 1 results in a product that is even less than the previous numbers?
all of them
When multiplying a decimal by a decimal why do you get a smaller decimal?
You only get a smaller decimal if you do 0. something because your multiplying it by 0! oust like with the whole numbers, if you times something by 0 it gets smaller. only with a decimal, there's are still numbers less than the 0 so it gets smaller and smaller until you have a total of 0!
Are numbers to the right of a decimal considered less than zero?
no, they are less than one

Why can you multiply two decimal numbers together and get an answer less than either one of the numbers you multiplied?
For the same reason that you can multiply two proper fractions and get a smaller number than either of them. You are multiplying either decimal by a number that is smaller than 1. As a result you get an answer that is smaller than 1 times the first number.

How many numbers less than a thousand have digits less than ten?

What decimal numbers are less than 1.4?
There are infinitely many decimal numbers which are less than 1.4.For a start, 1, 0, -1, -2 ... are all decimal numbers which are less than 1.4 1.39, 1.399, 1.3999, 1.39999. ... are all smaller and you can have infinitely many 9s in that sequence of numbers.

Why when you multiply decimals the product of the numbers gets smaller?
Yes, when any number is multiplied by a decimal, as long as the decimal is less than 1, the product is smaller that that number (assuming we are just dealing with positive numbers) An example is 5 times .4, which equals 2. 2 is less than 5. Another example, this time where both numbers are decimals, is .3 times .1 which equals .03. .03 is smaller that both .3 and .1. The reason it gets smaller is because by multiplying by a decimal, you are trying to get a fraction of the number, which will always be less than that number. For example, 3 times .5 = 1.5. Here, the result is a fraction (1/2) of three.
Is 7.5 less then 5.77?
No. If you don't consider the numbers after the decimal point then you can see 7 is not less than 5
