) Solve (2.3) • (–5) • (–0.9) • (12) • (–4). Show all work.
can you use calculator with this type of prob a@ your school
@ shawna23
yes as long as i show all work
ok first look at the negative signs of the three numbers that means - x-x-= - sign
it simply means that the sign of the number after you done multiplication is negative number therefore (12) . (2.3) • (–5) • (–0.9) • (–4) use your calculator now here = - ?
Rules for multiplying and dividing integers: (-) and (+) = (-) (+) and (-) = (-) (+) and (+) = (+) (-) and (-) = (+) This was how my teacher taught us: Bad(-) guy comes(+) to town = Bad(-) (People are scarred) Good(+) guy comes(+) to town = Good(+) (People are happy) Bad(-) guy leaves(-) town = Good(+) (People are happy) Good(+) guy leaves(-) town = Bad(-) (People are sad)
You can just use a calculator. To show your work, just put the equation and your answer: (2.3) • (–5) • (–0.9) • (12) • (–4) = (answer) Or do it in parts: (2.3 • –5) • (–0.9 • 12) • (–4) = "Draw" out each step. ex: 4 * 3 * 2 (4 * 3) * 2 12 * 2 = 24
Hope this helps!
