because they are the opisit to whole numbers. For example 4x4=16, 0.4x0.4=0.16, 2x2=4, 0.2x0.2=0.04
When you Multiply two decimals it is called the product.
Yes, when any number is multiplied by a decimal, as long as the decimal is less than 1, the product is smaller that that number (assuming we are just dealing with positive numbers) An example is 5 times .4, which equals 2. 2 is less than 5. Another example, this time where both numbers are decimals, is .3 times .1 which equals .03. .03 is smaller that both .3 and .1. The reason it gets smaller is because by multiplying by a decimal, you are trying to get a fraction of the number, which will always be less than that number. For example, 3 times .5 = 1.5. Here, the result is a fraction (1/2) of three.
no
There's no number on that list that's smaller than 0.5 .
well look at the decimals if the first is bigger than its usally bigger the more numbers the smaller it is
It's because decimals are really fractions and all numbers get smaller when you multiply them by fractions.
You can multiply to numbers with decimals

Blah blah blah
it affects because when you multiply you have to move the decimals to the left or right.......(helpful info)
When you multiply 4 by 2, you're doubling it, increasing 4 to twice its size. When you multiply 0.25 by 0.5, you're cutting it in half, decreasing 0.25 to 0.125.
no
product
When multiplying decimals less than 1, the answer gets smaller because each decimal is less than 1. Multiplying a number by a value less than 1 will always result in a smaller product. Think of it as taking a fraction or a portion of the number, which will inevitably make the product smaller.
multiply the decimal by 100
you cant get it
