Question

mr. lopez wrote four statements on the board. he asked his students to determine which statements are true.
-3 × 15 = -45
13 × (-1) = 13
8 × (-4) = -32
-6 × 12 = 72
which two statements are true?
click or tap the true statements.
click or tap the reset button to start over.

Explanation:

Step1: Check \(-3 \times 15\)

Multiply \(-3\) and \(15\). The rule for multiplying a negative and a positive is negative product. So \(-3 \times 15 = -45\), this statement is true.

Step2: Check \(13 \times (-1)\)

Multiply \(13\) and \(-1\). Positive times negative is negative. So \(13 \times (-1) = -13
eq 13\), this statement is false.

Step3: Check \(8 \times (-4)\)

Multiply \(8\) and \(-4\). Positive times negative is negative. \(8 \times (-4) = -32\), this statement is true.

Step4: Check \(-6 \times 12\)

Multiply \(-6\) and \(12\). Negative times positive is negative. \(-6 \times 12 = -72
eq 72\), this statement is false.

Answer:

The true statements are \(-3 \times 15 = -45\) and \(8 \times (-4) = -32\)
