It need not be.
1.5 * 6 = 9, which is bigger than 6, not smaller.

... less than the whole number.
No. A whole number is a number with no fractional (decimal) part. Therefore a decimal number can not be a whole number. Another view: 35.0 is a whole number AND a decimal. The fact that a number is a decimal does not automatically require it to have a fractional part. Even 35 is a decimal number (without a decimal point).
easy you just multiply it by ten or so... EX. 5*.6= 3 and 10*.6= 6
You multiply the whole number as many times as the exponent is.
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
Neither. A for every decimal number (which may itself be a whole number), there is a smaller whole number and for every whole number there is a smaller decimal number.
Often, yes. But it depends on the numbers. For example, if you multiply 1.5 x 2, you get 3 as the answer (whole number). But if you multiply 1.5 x 3, you get a decimal of 4.5
No a decimal is smaller than a whole number.
The answer depends on what the decimal is.For example, 4 * 3.5 = 14But 4 * 3.6 = 14.4
Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
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.
whenever you multiply a whole number by a decimal you get a decimal. 2.9x100=290
A decimal number is not always smaller than a whole number. This is a decimal number 2.45 The number on the left of the decimal point shows the whole numbers. The numbers on the right of the point shows the parts/fractions. This number is not a whole number .098 This number is a whole number 2.00 This number has whole numbers and parts/fractions of the whole 2.098
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.
... less than the whole number.
Example of multiplying whole decimal numbers: 2.37 × 3.56 = 8.4372 Remove the decimal point and multiply as for whole numbers: 237 × 356 = 84372 Then add the decimal point, thus : 8.4372
