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

HELP!! 30 POINTS AND WILL MARK BRAINLIEST One month, Henry's grandfather gives him a box of 523 baseball cards. Each month, star
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

nth term =  523 + 24(n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is modelled by an arithmetic series where first term a1 = 523 and common difference d = 24.

nth term = a1 + d(n - 1).

Here it is  523 + 24(n - 1)   (answer)

ANSWER THIS QUESTION THANKS ✔✔
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Any negative (when there is only one of them) will be the least. negatives are smaller than positives.

A fraction is less than a whole number. So far what you have is

___ ___ 3/15 , - 24/30

So now which is bigger? 11 or 11.5

Which would you rather have? 11 dollars or 11 dollars and 50 cents. 11.5>11

The correct order is 11.5    11    3/15   - 24/30
