Question

Using properties, find the product of (-97) 4, 10 and (-25)

Answer 1

We have been given four numbers -97, 4, 10 and -25. We need to find their product.

(-97)*4*10*(-25)

We can multiply two terms at a time starting from the left side.

(-97)*4*10*(-25)

=(-388)*10*(-25)  {-388 because product of opposite sign numbers is always negative}

=(-3880)*(-25)  {-3880 because product of opposite sign numbers is always negative}

=97000  {97000 because product of same sign numbers is always positive}

Hence final answer is 97000.
