Yes. Multiplying anything by a number less than one will decrease the original number. So multiplying two decimals will result in a number less than either one.
Answer y=mx+b
Step-by-step explanation: b is the y intercept and x is the slope
5 1/2 + p = 6
subtract 5 /12 from each side
5 1/2 - 5 1/2+ p = 6 - 5 1/2
p = 6 - 5 1/2
borrow from the 6
p = 5 2/2 - 5 1/2
p = 1/2
The value of p = 11
y = 5x + p
1 = 5(-2) + p
1 = -10 + p
11 = p
