Answer:
Negative
Step-by-step explanation:
- 5 * ( - 1 / - 2 )
First off - 1 / - 2 is the same as 1 / 2
A negative number divided by negative number equals a positive number.
Because a negative number (-1) is being divided by another negative number (-2) the outcome is positive resulting in both numbers to lose their negative sign. ( outcome ends up being 1/2)
So we now have - 5 * ( 1/2 )
We have a negative number being multiplied by a positive number
When a negative number is multiplied by a positive number the outcome will be negative.
So the final outcome of - 5 * ( - 1 / - 2 ) should be negative
Therefore the answer is B
