Question

Decide if the expression is positive or negative. Explain in words how you know, please.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first expression is :

$-11\times \dfrac{2}{3}$

Numerator = -11×2 = -22

Denominator = 3

So, answer will be :

$-11\times \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{-22}{3}$ (negative)

The second expression is:

$-11\times \dfrac{-2}{3}$

Numerator = -11×-2 = 22

Denominator = 3

So, the answer will be :

$-11\times \dfrac{-2}{3}=\dfrac{22}{3}$ (positive)

Hence, this is the required solution.
