wrong
Apologies for the error. Let's correctly solve the multiplication −25 by 310.
When multiplying a positive number by a negative number, the product is negative.
To multiply −25 by 310:
−25 × 310 = −7750
So, the correct answer is -7750.
one of these is the correct answer which one is right
−6/50
3/5
−6/5
−3/25
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the multiplication correctly and determine the simplest form of the answer.
−25 multiplied by 310 can be written as:
−25 × 310
Using the properties of multiplication and rules for multiplying signed numbers, we multiply the absolute values and then assign the correct sign.
25 × 310 = 7750
Since one of the numbers is negative, the answer will be negative:
−25 × 310 = −7750
Therefore, the correct answer in simplest form is -7750.
your not listening to me
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's go through the options again to determine the correct answer.
To multiply −25 by 310, we can set up the multiplication like this:
−25 × 310
Using the rules for multiplying a positive and negative number, the product will be negative.
Now, let's evaluate the options:
−6/50: This is not the correct answer as it is a fraction and not in simplest form.
3/5: This is not the correct answer as it is a fraction and does not match the sign of the product.
−6/5: This is also not the correct answer as it is a fraction and not in simplest form.
−3/25: This is the correct answer, both in terms of being a fraction and in simplest form.
Therefore, the correct answer is −3/25.
