Question

What is the sign of the product (–5)(–3)(–8)(–6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is B

$EXPLANATION$

Let us do the first product,

We have;

$(-5)\times (-3)$

We can re-group the sign and the numbers to obtain;

$(-\times -)(5\times 3)$

But we know that; negative times negative is positive. So the product becomes,

$+(5\times 3)$

Similarly for the second product,

We have;

$(-8)\times (-6)$

We can again re-group the sign and the numbers to obtain;

$(-\times -)(8\times 6)$

But we know that; negative times negative is positive. So the product becomes,

$+(8\times 6)$

Putting all together gives,

$+(5\times 3) \times +(8\times 6)$

Finally, positive times positive will also give positive. That is,

$+(5 \times 3)(8 \times 6)$
