Not if either of the numbers is between 0 and 1.
5*0.5 = 2.5 is not greater than 5
0.3*0.4 = 0.12 is smaller than both multiplicands.

Positive numbers are greater than negative numbers. Decimals can be either positive or negative.
Not always.
All numbers greater than one are positive integers that are either composite or prime numbers.
Yes. Natural numbers are counting numbers, equal to or greater than 0. The only ways a product can be less than its multiplicands is when multiplying fractions by fractions or multiplying a positive number by a negative number.
Consider 4 cases 1. The sum of any two positive numbers is clearly greater than either number. 2. The sum of any two negative numbers is LESS than either of the two numbers. ( (Look at -2+(-3)=-5 .) 3. The sum of any negative number and a positive number is always greater than the negative number but less than the positive number. (Look at -2+3=1, or -5+3=-2) 4. The sum of any number and 0 is that number so it is not greater. So it appears that the sum of any two numbers is greater than either of the two numbers when the two number are both positive.
