Is the product of two positive numbers greater than either number?

A positive number is any number greater than zero. 1 is a positive number, so is 2, 2.5, 3.14159, 11, 11.25 etc

0.5 is a positive number.

The product of two positive numbers is the result of multiplying them together.

* 2 x 3 = 6 (the product). In this case the product is greater than either number. But...

* 0.5 x 0.25 is 0.125. ~In this case the product is actually smaller than either of the two numbers! * Or 0.5 x 10 = 5 . Here the product is greater than 0.5 but smaller than 10.

So the answer is ...sometimes!
