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.

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
When you multiply a positive number by another positive number greater than one, the result is always greater than the original positive number. This is because multiplying by a number greater than one increases the value of the original number. For example, if you multiply 3 (a positive number) by 2 (a positive number greater than one), the result is 6, which is greater than 3.
The statement is incorrect. When you multiply any number other than zero by 0.1, the result will be a non-zero number that is less than the original number. For example, multiplying 5 by 0.1 gives 0.5, which is indeed greater than zero but less than 5. Therefore, while the result is positive, it is not always greater than the original number.
When you take away the lesser number from the greater number, you find the difference between the two numbers. This result represents how much larger the greater number is compared to the lesser one. Mathematically, if ( a ) is the greater number and ( b ) is the lesser number, the operation can be expressed as ( a - b ). The outcome will always be a non-negative value.
When you multiply a positive number by a number greater than one, the result is a larger positive number. This is because the operation effectively increases the original number. For example, multiplying 3 by 2 results in 6, which is greater than 3. Thus, the product will always exceed the original positive number.
8/9 x a number less than 1
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.
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).
Not necessarily. Work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of force. If the force is applied but there is no movement or displacement, then no work is done. So, a greater amount of force does not always result in a greater amount of work if there is no displacement.
So the original number was greater than 8...
