That only happens if they're both improper fractions, i.e. greater than ' 1 '.

When you multiply two fractions why is the product greater than 1?
The product is not always greater than 1.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
When one factor in multiplication is greater than one is the product greater or less than the other factor?
The terms (factors) used in multiplication are the multiplicand (the factor being multiplied), the multiplier (the factor that the multiplicand is multiplied by) and the product (the answer, or results of the multiplication). Any time either of the factors is greater than the other by at least one, the product will always be greater than the largest factor.
Who do fractions get smaller when you multiply them by another fraction?
It depends on what type of fraction it is. If the fractions are improper fractions, the product will be greater than the two fractions multiplied together. (Ex: 3/2 x 5/4 = 15/6 or 5/2. 5/2 is greater than 3/2.) If the fractions both have 1 as a numerator, the product is smaller. (Ex: 1/3 x 1/6 = 1/18. 1/18 is less than 1/3.) Any other fractions, it would depend on what fractions you're multiplying. Remember, you are multiplying the numerator by the other numerator and the denominator by the other denominator. (Answer Product of numerators/Product of denominators)
What fractions are greater than 0 and less than 1?
Proper fractions.
When you multiply two fractions why is the product greater than 1?
The product is not always greater than 1.
Is the product of two proper fractions greater than the fractions being multipled?
No, it is not.
How is the product of 2proper fractions greater than the fractions being multiplied?
It is not: they are the same. A "product" and "multiple" are synonyms.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
A whole number greater than one with more than 2 fractions?
It could be with factors 1, 2 and 4 assuming that "fractions" is your fail at writing factors.
When two mixed numbers are greater than 1 are mulitiplied the product will always be?
The product will be greater than 1, when each of the two factors are greater than 1.
What do you notice about the relationship between the factors and the product when multiplying two decimals less than 1?
The factors are greater than the product.
When one factors in a multiplication problem is greater than 1 is the product greater or less than the other factor?
greater
A whole number greater than one than with more than two fractions?
If one assumes that by fractions you actually mean factors - which is not the same thing - then It could be 4, with factors 1, 2 and 4.
When will the quotient of two fractions less than 1 be greater than either fraction?
Yes. Consider two negative fractions. Since they are negative, both are less than 1. But their product is positive and so greater than either.
Is the product of two mixed numbers greater than two factors?
No.
What fractions whose value is greater than or equal to 1 called?
Fractions that are greater than one are known as improper or 'top-heavy' fractions as the numerator is greater than the denominator.
