When multiplying decimals less than 1, the answer gets smaller because each decimal is less than 1. Multiplying a number by a value less than 1 will always result in a smaller product. Think of it as taking a fraction or a portion of the number, which will inevitably make the product smaller.

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.

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!
What is the difference between multiplying decimals and multiplying whole numbers?
You do the multiplication in exactly the same way. The only extra thing is that when multiplying decimals, you need to place the decimal point (or decimal comma - depending on your country) in the correct position. If one number has, for example, 3 digits after the decimal point, and the other 4, you need to place the decimal point in the result (BEFORE eliminating unnecessary zeros) in such a way that there are, in this example, 7 digits (3 + 4) to the right of the decimal point.
