When you square a number is the result always greater than the number you started with?

No, it's not. If you square a decimal, the result is less than the number you started with. This is because when you use a multiplication sign, it can mean "times" and also "of."
When we say 4 x 4, we mean calculate the number four "four times." The result is 16, and it's greater than 4.
But when you use a decimal, it more commonly means "of." For example, 0.5 times 0.5 means to calculate 0.5 (half) "of" 0.5. So the result is 0.25, which is less than 0.5.
Another example of "of," is calculating percentages.
To calculate 25% "of" 20, we write 0.25 x 20, and the answer is 5.

Why is anything mulpitied by a number always greater?
because when mulitipling that number your always going to get a greater number because that's just how mulipication worksWhen multiplying two whole numbers the result will always be greater than either number except when multiplying by zero (the result will always be zero), or multiplying by one (the result is always the other number). Although it f obvious to most people, it can be demonstrated as follows:When multiplying a number by 2, the result is twice the number.When multiplying a number by 3, the result is three times the number,even bigger.When multiplying a number by 4, the result is four times the number,even bigger still.The pattern continues. Each time you multiply by a larger number, the result gets even bigger.a

Sure, you can write it that way. But for the final result, you should always convert it to a mixed number in standard form, or to an improper fraction.
What kinds of numbers would I multiply by to get answers that are slightly greater than my starting number?
If you multiply your number by any number greater than 1, the result will be greater than the starting number - assuming your number is positive. If your number is negative, you need to multiply it by any number less than 1, to get a result that is greater than the original number. To get a number that is slightly greater, multiply by a number that is slightly greater than 1 (ot slightly lee than= -1).

When a whole number is multiplied by a decimal smaller than one what can you conclude about the result?

When you subtract one integer from another integer will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with explain your reasoning and give an example?
It can be greater than, equal or less than the original integer. There are three possible values for the second integer: It is positive, in which case the result will be less than the original integer, eg 5 - 2 = 3 and 3 < 5;It is zero, in which case the result will be the same as the original integer, eg 5 - 0 = 5 and 5 = 5;It is negative, in which case the result will be greater than the original integer, eg 5 - -2 = 7 and 7 > 5.
Can an even number greater than 4 be written as the sum of 2 prime numbers if you use 2 as one of the primes?
No. 2 is the only even prime number, and if you add an even number and an odd number, the result will always be odd.
