b) Explain in words how you determined the sign of your answer.
why all the newlines?
(-1*15)*3*2 = (-15)*3*2 = -45*2 = -90
Unless some of those dots are decimal points. In any case, just multiply from left to right
I need to get this done asappp does anyone have the answer????
a) To find the product of two numbers, you simply multiply them together. In this case, we need to find the product of -1.15 and 3.2.
Product = (-1.15) * (3.2)
To multiply these numbers, follow these steps:
1. Multiply the absolute values of the numbers: 1.15 * 3.2 = 3.68
2. Determine the sign of the product:
- If the two numbers have the same sign (both positive or both negative), the product is positive (+).
- If the two numbers have different signs (one positive and one negative), the product is negative (-).
In this case, -1.15 is negative and 3.2 is positive, so the product will be negative.
Therefore, the product is -3.68.
b) I determined the sign of the answer by considering the signs of the two numbers being multiplied. Since -1.15 is negative and 3.2 is positive, I know that the product will be negative.
