Yes - it is much easier if all the numbers are in the same form.
Personally, unless any decimal is an irrational, I would convert them all to fractions as it may allow for simplification before any calculation (multiplication and/or division) is done.
Yes, this is true. For example, if you wanted to multiply 3.2 by 4-1/2, you could write it as 3.2 x 4.5 or as 3-1/5 x 4-1/2 (which would be more simply calculated if converted to 16/5 x 9/2). In both cases, you get the equivalent answer of 14.4 (144/10). Whether you use fractions or decimals is more personal choice but one way can sometimes be easier than another.
you need multiplicatin to help you count money and know how to multiply fractions and decimals. you wont graduate highschool if you cant memorize your mutiplication.
Cross multiplication is when you multiply the denominator of a fraction by the numerator of another fraction. Before you cross multiply you want to see if you can simply the fractions.
a dot between 2 fractions is multiplication also the dot is another symbol to multiply
A strong working understanding of fractions and decimals is essential for nurses. They must be familiar enough with fractions and decimals to quickly and accurately divide, multiply, add and subtract dosages as well as convert fractions to decimals and vice versa. Conceptual understating of fractions and decimals is essential since half doses, extra doses and time-delayed dosages must be calculated correctly. Nurses also need to know how to convert fractions and decimals to percentages in order to explain medication instructions accurately and easily to their patients.

when you multiply by a number larger than 1, the number is bigger. When you multiply by 1, the number is the same, and when you multiply be a number between 0 and 1 (fractions and decimals), the number is smalller than one. multiplication is an expression of how much of something. ex: 3*4=12 If you have three 4s, you have twelve. 1*8=8 If you have one 8, you only have one 8! (1/2)*6=3 Half of 6 is 3, and 3 is smaller than 6.

to order fractions you can cross multiply two fractions at a time or you can convert all the fractions into decimals.
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
no, that's only if it's fractions.:}
Change the decimal into a fraction or the easier way is to turn the fration into a decimal, then multiply.
If an operation calls for multiplication we multiply; if it calls for any other operation, we perform the other operation!
It is easier to multiply or divide fractions than to add or subtract fractions because in multiplication, you just have to multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. Same applies with division of fractions, except that you have to reciprocate the fraction you're dividing with (divisor) then proceed to multiplication. Whereas, in addition and subtraction of fractions, you still have to get their Least Common Denominator (LCD).
Certainly, if you multiply fractions for instance.
Cross multiplication is when you multiply the denominator of a fraction by the numerator of another fraction. Before you cross multiply you want to see if you can simply the fractions.
It's because decimals are really fractions and all numbers get smaller when you multiply them by fractions.
Because multiplication is a binary operation that is defined so that it is valid for all numbers.
Just straight across. 1/3 * 1/13 = 1/39 =======and with any multiplication of fractions
