You will get a number - whole or fraction - whose magnitude will be smaller than the original.
When any number is multiplied by its reciprocal, the product is ' 1 '.
No. A number multiplied by a fraction yields a smaller number
It increases the value.
The absolute value of the number will be smaller
The answer depends on the fraction.

Any number multiplied by a fraction yields a smaller product.
The numerator of the fraction is multiplied by the whole number.
The absolute value of the number will be smaller
If a fraction's denominator is increased, the number gets smaller. If a fraction's denominator is decreased, the number gets bigger.
In that case, the result will be smaller than your positive whole number.
Nothing special happens. The answer can be smaller or bigger. A rational can become irrational or the other way around.
The number that can be multiplied by a fraction to get a result of 1 is the reciprocal of the fraction. Apart from zero, all real numbers have reciprocals.
