Question #1 A positive times a negative is a negative.

OpenStudy (adamk):

The sign will be negative because a positive number and a negative number multiplied by each other equals a negative number.

OpenStudy (adamk):

For the second answer, multiply the two base numbers then multiply the fractions. Remember, when multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators. Keep in mind the answer to the first one for the bases.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A positive times a positive is a positive. A negative times a negative is a positive. A positive times a negative is a negative. A negative times a positive is a negative.

OpenStudy (adamk):

No. Try again. First the bases. 2 times -2 is -4. So we know the answer is only one of them now.

OpenStudy (adamk):

Yep!

OpenStudy (adamk):

Look at my answer again for the first one.

OpenStudy (adamk):

You can narrow it down to two answers. The second or third one. Now use logic from there.

OpenStudy (adamk):

No. I said the second or third one. So, B or C. We know it's a negative number. Now, just use what I said at the very beginning to determine which one it is.
