The only thing that you can be certain of is that the answer will be a number. It could be irrational or rational, it could be a proper fraction, integer or improper (mixed) fraction.
The answer is called the product.
We call that cross multiplying.
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.

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.

It is not possible to tell.
We call that cross multiplying.
The product is always positive.
Yes. A polynomial multiplying by a polynomial will always have a multi-termed product. Hope this helps!

When the multiplier is 1, the product is the same as the multiplicand. Really! Well if you have 6 times 1 the answer would be 6, when multiplying by 1's your answer is always the other #.
A fraction is never a negative. That is unless you are in some sort of advanced math thing. But for the basics you should not have to worry about that. A fraction is always just a normal fraction.

A conversion factor is a fraction that is always equal to 1. This allows you to convert between different units by multiplying the quantity you have by the conversion factor.
