Using multiplication signal rules, it is found that:

A: Emma's statement is always false.

B: The result is always negative.

C: Emma's statement is always true.

The rule used for this exercise is as follows:

  • When two numbers of different signals are multiplied, the result is negative.
  • When two numbers have the same signal, the result is positive.

Part A:

  • Three numbers are multiplied, all negative.
  • The multiplication of the first two result in a positive number.
  • Then, this positive number is multiplied by a negative number, and the result will be negative, which mean that Emma's statement is always false.

Two examples are:

-2.5(-3.8)(-2) = 9.5(-2) = -19

-2.5(-2)(-0.7) = 5(-0.7) = -3.5

Part B:

The rule is that the result is always negative.

Part C:

  • The multiplication of the first two negative numbers result in a positive number.
  • Then, this positive number is multiplied by another positive number, and the result will be positive, which mean that Emma's statement is always true.

Two examples are:

-2.5(-3.8)(2) = 9.5(2) = 19

-2.5(-2)(0.7) = 5(0.7) = 3.5

The cookie jar closes at 9:00 p.m. During the last 15 minutes they are open, they sell all their goodies at 1/3 off the regular
Naddik [55]

Answer:

1.30$

Step-by-step:    

Since they sell their cookies for 1/3 of the price  for the last 15 minutes, cookies go on sale at 8:45.

Laura  bought them at 8:30, and did not get a discount.  

She bought 3 cookies for 65 cents each. That's 3 x 65 = 195 cents.

Had she waited 15 minutes, she would have gotten a discount of 1/3 off.  

195 cents x (1/3) is 65.

195 - 65 = 130 cents.  

130 cents or 1 dollar 30 cents.
