What happens when you multiply a negative by a positive

(c) Emma changed her statement to say that when you multiply two negative decimals and a positive decimal, the product will be positive. Is Emma's new statement always true, sometimes true, or always false? Write two equations to support your answer

Answered by admin @


The statement is always true.

Let's take -.12*-.5*.2

-.12*-.5*.2=.012

And:
-.2*-.4*.3=.024

A positive multiplied by a positive is, obviously, a positive.

The result of two negative numbers multiplying together is always positive.

So, negative*negative*positive is a positive answer.
