It depends on the signs of the two numbers.
The answer is tricky when at least one number is negative because you have to remember that "less than" means "farther to the left on the number line" and NOT "greater in magnitude". E.g. -20 is less than -4 because -20 is farther to the left even though its magnitude (absolute value) is greater.
There are four possible cases:
When the number is greater
A factor is a number that you multiply by another number to get a product, which is the answer to a multiplication problem.
The reason is because you have to make the number bigger when you multiply. When you move the decimal to the right you make the number bigger, when you move it to the left you make it smaller. Therefore, when you divide you must move the decimal to the left.
the answer is smaller than the whole number because you're taking a fraction of the second number. it's like multiplying by a decimal.
The question is ambiguous. Do you want to know how to multiply a fraction by a whole number, as well as by a mixed number? Or are you asking how to multiply a whole number by a mixed number and express the product as a fraction? Or what?
True
Bigger than it
4
This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
False. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
When multiplying a whole number by a decimal with two places, ignore the decimal point and multiply as if you were multiplying two whole numbers. After you get the answer, re-insert the decimal point so that the product has two decimal places.
When multiplying a whole number by a decimal with two places, ignore the decimal point and multiply as if you were multiplying two whole numbers. After you get the answer, re-insert the decimal point so that the product has two decimal places.
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.
A positive number is a number greater than zero. Therefore: 5 x 2 = 10 is one example.
It is false.0.2 * 25 = 5, which has no decimal places.
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
If the two numbers have x and y decimal places respectively, then the raw product (before deleting and trailing 0s) has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
