Answer:
b. Multiplying decimals less than one is finding a part of a part.
Step-by-step explanation:
A part of a given number implies a selected part of a given number which can be expressed as a fraction of the number. Example, the half of any number is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
The product of a part and another part can be expressed as;
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
or,
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
or,
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
The three examples shows: a part x a part.
Therefore, it would be observed that multiplying decimals less than one is the same as finding a part of a part.
