Why is it when you multiply two proper fractions your product is less than either factor?

Remember the denominator shows how many equal parts the item is divided into, so because you are multiplying the number of parts (you are increasing the number of cuts) the denominator will get bigger ...which in turn means the pieces will be smaller. Just remember the higher a denominator is the smaller it will be in size...multiplying a fraction means you are multiplying the number of cuts and sections that is why the size gets smaller.


What is cross product method?

If you multiply two decimals less than 1 can you predict whether the product will be less than or greater than either of the factors Explain?

When you multiply two decimals that are both less than 1, the product will always be less than either of the factors. This is because each factor represents a fraction of a whole, and multiplying these fractions results in an even smaller fraction. For example, multiplying 0.5 and 0.3 yields 0.15, which is less than both 0.5 and 0.3. Thus, the product is guaranteed to be less than either factor.

Will a product ever be smaller than one of the factors?

You bet. As long as at least one of the factors is a proper fraction. 1/2 x 6 = 3 (product is smaller than one factor) 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12 (product is smaller than both factors)


When 1 is the factor the product is always?

the same as the number you are multiplying yes i quite agree because for example,if 1 is the factor of 7, the product will be 7, but if 2, the product will be 14.


When you multiply two thirds by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factor?
