Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The magnitude of a fraction of a fraction (their product) is always smaller than the magnitudes of either fraction. So, if both decimals are positive, the result is less than either factor.
___
Negative numbers are less than 1, so there can be several cases of interest when one or both numbers are negative.
Both numbers negative
The product will be positive, so will be greater than either negative factor.
__
One number negative, the other number positive
The product will be negative, so will be less than the positive factor and greater than the negative factor. (Multiplying a negative number by a positive fraction moves it closer to zero on the number line, hence to a value that is greater than the negative factor.)
