Well since 0.36 * 4 = 1.44 > If we were to round it, it would be 1.
0.4 * 4 = 1.6 > If we round it we get 2.
Hope this helps!

Answer:

The product is smaller:
0.144

Explanation:

Since we have that one of the new factors is different, your product must be different from the original product that is:


0.36*4=1.44

And the new product is between
0.36 and
0.4, which gives us:


0.36*0.4=0.144

We can see that now the product is smaller, this is because both quantities are decimal numbers.

And if you are looking for how much they are different:
1.44-0.144=1.296

the original and new product are diffetent by
1.296
