Why is the product of two fraction that are less than one is always less than one?

When you take a fraction you will notice that smaller the number in the denominator greater is its value.
For e.g. 1/6 > 1/8 because dividing one into six parts will give a larger part then dividing it into 8 parts equally.
Now when we take two fractions and multiply then the product of the denominator is going to be grater than the numbers themselves which means 1 is getting divided into more equal parts. So it will be always lesser than one.
e.g. 1/6x1/8=1/48.

When you multiply a whole number by a fraction is the product always less than the original whole number?
A number multiplied by 1 is equal to the original number. So: For fractions where the numerator (top) is LESS than the deonominator (bottom), the product will be LESS than the original number, because the fraction has a value of LESS than 1. For fractions where the numerator is MORE than the denominator, the product will be MORE than the original number because the fraction has a value of MORE than 1. For fractions where the numerator and denominator are the same, the product will be the same as the original number because the fraction has a value equal to 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.
Is 3.1 bigger than 1.3?

The product of a decimal greater than one and a decimal less than one is greater than one?
not always.. take .0001 and 1.1, the product is less than 1.
Is this question true or false a proper fraction never has the same value as a mixed number?
TRUE. A proper fraction is always less than 1 and a mixed number is always greater than 1

No. The product of a mixed number between 4 and 5 and a fraction between 0 and 1 is always less than 5, but is not always less than 4.
