Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is d

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply a whole number by a decimal less than one, you are taking a fraction of the whole number. The resulting number is smaller than the original.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The resulting number is smaller than the original. This is true because if you take 20 times 0.5 it will equal ten. A decimal is pretty much a fraction in another form.

• The reason why A is false is because if the number isn't being multiplied by 1 then it can't stay the same.

• The reason why B is false is because that is not true as in the example above, 20 times 0.5, it equaled 10 and not less than one.

• The reason why C is false is because the the resulting number simply cannot be higher than the original when being multiplied by a decimal smaller than 1.

Hope this helps
