Answer:

So any time you are multiplying something, you are making "groups of"

so 3 groups of 2 = 6, 4 groups of 3 = 12

But with decimals or fractions, because they are a value less than zero, the numbers become increasingly small instead of bigger, like standard multiplication.

So for example, 1 group of 1/2 = 1/2

2 groups of 1/4 = 1/2

and so on

hope this helps!
