What is the result of multiplying a negative number by a positive number?

Multiplying a negative number by a positive number will result in a negative number.

What is the result of multiplying two negative numbers?

When you multiply two negative numbers, the result is always a positive number.

Explain why the product of two negative numbers is positive.

When multiplying two negative numbers, the negative signs essentially cancel each other out, resulting in a positive product. This is because multiplication is essentially repeated addition, and when you have a negative number being added multiple times, the result is a negative value. However, when two negative numbers are multiplied, the operation combines the two negative values to create a positive outcome.

If you multiply a negative number by zero, what is the result?

The result of multiplying a negative number by zero is zero.

Describe what happens when you multiply a negative number by a fraction.

When you multiply a negative number by a fraction, the result will also be negative. This is because the negative sign applies to the entire value being multiplied, including the fraction. The magnitude of the result will depend on the magnitude of the negative number and the fraction being multiplied.

Can you give an example of multiplying a positive number by a negative number?

Sure, when you multiply a positive number, let's say 5, by a negative number, like -3, you would get -15. This is because when you multiply a positive number by a negative number, the result is always negative.

What is the product of a negative number and a whole number?

The product of a negative number and a whole number will be a negative number.

How does the sign of the product change when you multiply a negative number by itself?

When you multiply a negative number by itself, the sign of the product is positive. This is because multiplying a negative number by another negative number results in a positive number according to the rules of multiplication.

Explain why the product of two negative fractions is positive.

When you multiply two negative fractions, the negative signs cancel each other out and result in a positive product. This cancellation occurs because the multiplication of two negative numbers follows the rule that a negative number multiplied by a negative number equals a positive number. Therefore, when you multiply two negative fractions together, the negative signs negate each other, leading to a positive result.

What is the outcome of multiplying a negative number by a decimal?

Multiplying a negative number by a decimal will result in a negative number. The product will have a magnitude that is smaller than the original negative number, as multiplying by a decimal less than 1 reduces the magnitude of the number.
