Why is the product of two fractions smaller than two fractions thet were multiplied?
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.
When you multiply two fractions does the number get greater or less than the two fractions multiplied?
if you mean multiplying something by a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator then yes.
When multiplying proper fractions why is the product less than the both factors?
A proper fraction is less than 1. Any positive number multiplied by a positive number less 1 will be less than itself. In multiplying two proper fractions, each one is being multiplied by a number less than 1.

What fractions are smaller than 1?
A fraction is smaller than one if the number on the top is less than the number on the bottom.

Why can you multiply two decimal numbers together and get an answer less than either one of the numbers you multiplied?
For the same reason that you can multiply two proper fractions and get a smaller number than either of them. You are multiplying either decimal by a number that is smaller than 1. As a result you get an answer that is smaller than 1 times the first number.
What two numbers can be multiplied so the product is smaller then one of the factors?
One of the numbers must be less that 1
Is it possible for the final product of two numbers to contain fewer decimal places than either of the numbers being multiplied Why or why not?
huh. not a formal proof, but intuition says no, since decimal places represent fractions, and multiplication of fractions leads to smaller numbers (or more less than one), leading to more decimal places.
Are smaller fractions larger?
the numbers are larger, but could mean less or more: 1/20000000 is small and 20000000/1 is large
Are mixed numbers less than proper fractions?
No.
When multiplying proper fractions why is the product less than the both factors?
A proper fraction is less than 1. Any positive number multiplied by a positive number less 1 will be less than itself. In multiplying two proper fractions, each one is being multiplied by a number less than 1.
What statement about multiplying fractions and mixed numbers is not true?
A common misconception is that multiplying fractions always results in a smaller number. While it is true that multiplying two proper fractions (less than one) results in a smaller fraction, multiplying a fraction by a mixed number can yield a larger product if the mixed number is greater than one. Therefore, the statement "Multiplying fractions always results in a smaller number" is not true.
fractions less than 1/2?

What are fifteen facts or more about fractions?
You're only supposed to ask one question at at time but here we go:- 1 Fractions are parts of whole numbers or integers 2 Fractions less than 1 are common fractions 3 Fractions greater than 1 are improper fractions 4 Fractions have denominators which are underneath their numerators 5 Fractions are separated by a solidus line such as n/d 6 Fractions that are improper can be changed into mixed numbers 7 Fractions can be changed into decimals 8 Fractions can be converted into percentages 9 Fractions are rational numbers 10 Fractions can not be derived from irrational numbers 11 Fractions need a LCD when adding or subtracting them 12 Fractions can be easily multiplied and divided 13 Fractions can be equivalent such as 2/3 = 4/6 14 Fractions can be simplified by finding their HCF 15 Fractions use prime numbers to find the LCM of different denominators 16 Fractions were once used by the ancient Romans to a limited extent
Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater and greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?
Whole numbers raised to an exponent increase because multiplying a whole number by itself repeatedly results in a larger product. Conversely, fractions (a number less than one) raised to an exponent get smaller because each multiplication reduces the value further; for example, multiplying 0.5 by itself yields 0.25, which is less than 0.5. Thus, the behavior of whole numbers and fractions under exponentiation is fundamentally different due to their values relative to one.
