The answer is -3.
It is basically asking what 1/4 of -12 is.
1/4 is equal to .25.
So .25 x -12= -3 which is your answer.

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying a positive number with a negative number, the product will <u>always</u> be negative. First, let's solve the problem disregarding the negative sign.

  • \frac{1}{4} * 12
  • \frac{12}{4}
  • 3

Now that we know the product of 1/4 x 12 is 3, we can assume that the product of 1/4 x -12 is -3.

There are 4 cups in one quart, so if you do 2 1/2 times 4 you will get 10. That means the pitcher holds 10 cups.
