The question is asking for the product of these two terms.
First you need to consider the sign, remember the following rules: positive * positive = positive negative * negative = negative positive * negative = negative negative * positive = negative
In the question, we have a negative term and a positive term, therefore, the answer would be negative. Now considering the two numbers: 4*4 = 16
Based on the above and taking the sign into consideration, the answer would be as follows: (-4)(4) = -16
So the problem is 64 divide by 6 so your answer is 10 in each container and 4 left over so No, he cannot distribute them into containers equally, because 64 divided by 6 is 10.6666667 or 10.7
