It decreases.
The number is still positive, but the range is positive infinity.
It makes the number smaller. For Example: 20 x .5 = 10
Fraction refers to the amount to the right of the decimal point (amounts of less than 1), so if you multiply any (positive) number by a fraction its value will be reduced.
It depends. If you start with a positive number, then multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater; multiply by 1 and the answer is the same; multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller; multiply by 0 and the answer is 0; multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.
Not necessarily. For example, if you multiply one million by 0.001 (which is a positive number), you get a thousand, which is less than a million.
Nothing happens to the whole number. But the product is less than the whole number. The product might be another whole number, and it might have a fractional part.
Multiply by a number greater than 1 will increase the value. Multiplying by less than one will decrease the number.
a positive number is more, not less.
That's because 0.01 is less than one.If you multiply a number by 1, you get the same number back. If you multiply a positive number by a number that is less than one, you get back a number that is less than your original number. Similarly, if you multiply a positive number with something that is more than one, you get a result that is more than your original number.
A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.
Multiply by a number less than 1.
The sum is less than the positive number. Example: 16 + -3= 13. As you can see 13 is less than 16 so the sum is less than the positive number.
