Which statement is true? a. Multiplying decimals less than one is taking a part of a whole.

b. Multiplying decimals less than one is finding a part of a part.

c. Multiplying decimals less than one can be shown as repeated addition.

d. Multiplying decimals less than one can be shown as repeated subtraction.

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 .

The product of a part and another part can be expressed as;

x =

or,

x =

or,

x = =

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.

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional

25/14 or 1.

step-by-step explanation:

the dots mean that it has infinitely more numbers behind it
