When you multiply a fraction less than 1 by another fraction less than 1 is your answer going to be less than the two factors?
That depends. When you multiply fractions, the product is closer to zero than either of the factors. If you multiply any positive fraction by 1/2, your result will be half of the original number. However, if you multiply any negative fraction by 1/2, your result will be twice the original number.
EXAMPLE:
1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8 (1/8 is less than 1/4 )
1/2 x -1/4 = -1/8 (-1/8 is greater than -1/4 )

Yes, ALWAYS. Think of it this way... If you had 1/2 a pie and you wanted just a FRACTION of it, that's less than the 1/2 you started with.

When you multiply a mixed number by a fraction will it be smaller than the mixed number?
no according to my opinion it is going to be larger than the mixed # say for example you take 1/3 and 1 2/4 is it going to be larger or smaller larger
Why is it when you multiply by a fraction the original number gets smaller?
A fraction is normally used to represent a value is less that 1. So if you have 1 of a number and then find something that is less than 1 of it, it is naturally going to be smaller. However, you can also have a fraction that is greater than 1, in which case the value multiplied will be greater than the original.

When is a fraction in simplest form?
A fraction is in simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors except ' 1 '. That's why they try to teach you factors, and then they try to teach you common factors, before they try to teach you fractions. (I was going to say that's why "you learn ..." but decided to put a finer point on it.)

What are all of the equivalent fractions for 29?
29 = 29/1. Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer. You will have an equivalent fraction. And since there are infinitely many such numbers, I am not even going to try to list them all.

What smallest fraction goes into 63 over 100?
Even if there was sense in the question of "going into", there is no smallest fraction as whatever fraction is given as the smallest I can divide it by 10 (or multiply it by 1/10 which is the same) to get an even smaller fraction. eg if you said 1/100 was the smallest fraction (63/100 ÷ 1/100 = 63), I can divide 1/100 by 10 to get 1/1000 which is a smaller fraction (63/100 ÷ 1/1000 = 630).
