The product is less than or greater than the whole number depending on the sign of the fraction.
(1/2) * 4 = 2, which is smaller than 4.
(1/2) * -4 = -2, which is smaller than 4.
(-1/2) * 4 = -2, which is smaller than -4.
(-1/2) * -4 = 2, which is greater than -4.

The product of a proper fraction and a whole number results in a smaller number than the whole number, maintaining the same basic numerical relationship as multiplying two proper fractions, which also yields a smaller number. However, the key difference lies in the nature of the multiplicands; a whole number has a value greater than or equal to one, while a proper fraction is always less than one. Consequently, when multiplying a proper fraction by a whole number, the result is a proper fraction or whole number, whereas the product of two proper fractions will always be a proper fraction.

No, the statement is not necessarily true.
It can be either.1/2 * 4 = 2, so the answer is less. -1/2 * 4 = -2, so the answer is less. 1/2 * -4 = -2, so the answer is greater. -1/2 * -4 = 2, so the answer is greater.
