That's only true if the fractions are "proper" fractions ... with numerator smaller than denominator. The reason is: If you take (a piece less than the whole thing) out of (a piece less than the whole thing), you wind up with a piece smaller than either of the original pieces.
A fraction is smaller than one if the number on the top is less than the number on the bottom.
if 1/2 x 1/3 then times it and get 1/6
if you mean multiplying something by a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator then yes.
Oh, dude, fractions smaller than 1/2 are like the unpopular kids in high school - they just can't quite measure up. So, you've got 0/1, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, and so on. It's like a lineup of fractions waiting to be picked last for the math team.

There are 3 Parts of fractions: 1:Improper Fractions Improper fractions are those fractions which numerator is greater than the denominator. 2:Proper Fractions Proper Fractions are those fractions which numerator is smaller than the denominator. 3:Mixed Numbers Mixed Numbers are those numbers which have a whole number and a part of fraction.
You don't

Yes, every unit fraction is proper fraction because a proper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is smaller than denominator. So the set of all unit fractions are also proper fractions.
improper fractions
People use fractions when there is slightly more or less than a whole
An inch consists of 16 scale divisions (1/16, 2/16, etc.) If you consider metric system, then the smaller measure units would be centimeter (1 inch = 2.54 cm) and millimeter (1 cm = 10 mm).
There are many, many, fractions equal to 3.14314/100 for instance. Or 22/7 which is smaller and almost as close. It gives you 3.1428571 which is closer then 314/100. Uh, no. 314/100 is much closer to 3.14 than 22/7. Also, 22/7 is not smaller than 314/100, it is larger. 3.1428571 > 3.14.
To get the correct answer. If you were adding 1/5 and 1/7, you might not know that the answer is 12/35 unless you knew that 1/5 = 7/35 and 1/7 = 5/35
Fractions were invented because it wass easier to write 1/3 than 0.333333333333333333333333333333333333333 --> with infinite-∞
No, there is no American equivalent. 25 chain is smaller than T8F chain and 35 chain is larger. Ask me how I know... :(
