Yes.
0.1 x 0.2
When one factor is less than one, the product will be less than the other factor.
because you multiplying by 9
If there are three factors, then one of them being less than 1 does not imply anything about the product of all three and either of the other two factors. For example, 2 = 0.5*1*4 where the first factor is less than 1. The product 2 is less than one of the other factors but bigger than the last.
If one of the numbers is negative, but the other is positive, then the product is negative - and therefore smaller than both numbers in the question. For example, 2 x -4 = -8. ===================================== Another contributor added: Also, whenever the absolute magnitude of both factors is less than ' 1 ', the absolute magnitude of the product is less than either factor.
The product is less than either factor.
The product is less than either factor.
This is a clever question. I would say: "Always". To be more precise: The product is never greater than either factor, and if neither factor is ' 1 ', then the product is always less than both.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.

The product is less than the other factor. For example: 0.5 x 6 = 3. 3 is less than the factor that is greater than 1 (which is 6).

The factors are greater than the product.
The product will be less than the other factor.
