Question

Which of the following are reasonable answers for the product of two negative numbers and a positive number? Select all that apply.
-15
45
20
-40

Answer 1

A product is the solution to multiplication.

When two negative numbers are multiplied, a positive number is the product.

Example: -5 * -10 = 50

When a negative and a positive number are multiplied, a negative number is the product.

Example: -9 * 3 = -27

-15 and -40 are the best answers.
