Yes, ALWAYS.
Think of it this way...
If you had 1/2 a pie and you wanted just a FRACTION of it, that's less than the 1/2 you started with.

When you multiply a fraction less than one by another fraction less than one your answer is always less than either factor?
That is true.
What is an example for when you multiply a fraction less than 1 by another fraction less than 1?
(1/2) * (1/4) is an example.
When you multiply a fraction less than 1 by another fraction less than 1 is your answer going to be less than the two factors?
That depends. When you multiply fractions, the product is closer to zero than either of the factors. If you multiply any positive fraction by 1/2, your result will be half of the original number. However, if you multiply any negative fraction by 1/2, your result will be twice the original number. EXAMPLE: 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8 (1/8 is less than 1/4 ) 1/2 x -1/4 = -1/8 (-1/8 is greater than -1/4 )
What happens to a number when you multiply it by a fraction?
Fraction refers to the amount to the right of the decimal point (amounts of less than 1), so if you multiply any (positive) number by a fraction its value will be reduced.
Why does a number get smaller when you multiply by a proper fraction?
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.
When you multiply a fraction less than one by another fraction less than one your answer is always less than either factor?
That is true.
Why is the product always less than one when you multiply a fraction by another proper fraction?

Why is it when you multiply by a fraction the original number gets smaller?
A fraction is normally used to represent a value is less that 1. So if you have 1 of a number and then find something that is less than 1 of it, it is naturally going to be smaller. However, you can also have a fraction that is greater than 1, in which case the value multiplied will be greater than the original.
What happens to the whole number when you multiply it by a fraction less than one?
Nothing happens to the whole number. But the product is less than the whole number. The product might be another whole number, and it might have a fractional part.
What is the process of resizing a number when you multiply by a fraction that is greater than or less than 1?

Is the process of resizing a number when you multiply by a fraction that is greater than or less than 1?
Scaling
Why does a number get smaller when you multiply by a number less than one?
Because the number is decreasing in size (i.e. less than one) which means you are making it smaller. Try dividing a big number with any fraction. You'll see that it decreases. This is because a fraction is smaller than one and so it will decrease. Another way of looking at it is if you multiply a number by 1, you get the same number. Multiply by 2 and you get twice the number. Therefore, multiplying a number by less than one and your bound to get a smaller number.
When you multiply two thirds by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factor?
The product is less than either factor.
