Any number above 1 gets greater, below 1 smaller (when above 0), while 1 itself remains the same. Negative numbers are more unpredictable.

Answer:

Because whole numbers are greater than 1 and any number greater than 1 multiplied by it self several times result in a greater number, but proper fractions are numbers less than 1, and a number less than 1 multiplied by it self several times result if a smaller number.

Explanation:

Whole numbers are raised to an exponent , means that such number is multiplied by itself (as many times and the exponent is).

Whole numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, ....

Number 1 is a special case. When 1 is multiplied by it self the result is 1.

When other whole number (2, 3, 4, 5, ...) is multiplied by it self the result is a greater number. For example, 2 × 2 = 4, 3 × 3 = 9, and so on.

On the other hand, proper fractions, which are those whose numerator is less than the denominator, are less than one, and any number less than 1 multiplied by it self results in a smaller number.

For example: 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4 or 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25. This is always true for any proper fraction (a number less than 1).

Three reasons why the other method is not better is because to use drawing program would mean you would need some sort of technology and electricity to use it and some places, like third world countries, do not have access to that, so most probably you would have to resort to paper. Also, drawing programs are based off the skills needed to create geometric figures with a straightedge and compass. And lastly, what if we had no more technology anymore? Then how would we use a drawing program? Drawing programs are only reliable when electricity is located.

SO THE ANSWER IS A hope it help :)
