Is the Product Always Greater than the Numbers Multiplied?We have 3 cases here Situation Multiplication Relationship Situation 1 Both numbers are greater than 1 (e.g., ) The product (22.1) is greater than both the numbers. Situation 2 Both numbers are between 0 and 1 (e.g., ) The product (0.3) is less than both the numbers. Situation 3 One number is between 0 and 1 and one number is greater than 1 (e.g., ) The product (3.75) is less than the number greater than 1 and greater than the number between 0 and 1 . Thus, we can write Product of two Decimals is Greater than both: When both numbers are greater than 1. (e.g., 3.4×6.5=22.1 ) Less than both: When both numbers are smaller than 1 . (e.g., 0.25×0.8=0.2 ). Note: 0.2 is smaller than 0.25 and smaller than 0.8. In between: When one number is >𝟏 and the other is <𝟏. (e.g., 0.75×5=3.75 ). 3.75 is bigger than 0.75 , but smaller than 5 .
