To multiply −25 by 310, you can use the associative and commutative properties of multiplication.
First, rewrite −25 as −1 * 25:
−1 * 25 * 310
Next, apply the commutative property to change the order of the factors:
25 * −1 * 310
Now, multiply the absolute values of the numbers:
25 * 1 * 310 = 7750
Since there is a negative sign in the problem, the answer will be negative. Therefore, the final answer is −7750.
