Question

*Which of the following options gives the highest product?*

1️⃣ (- 8) X 4
2️⃣ (- 2) X ( -3)
3️⃣ ( - 5) X ( - 1)
4️⃣ (1 X 3)​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is

-2 × -3

which gives us

+6

Answer 2

Given:

Which of the following options gives the highest product

1️⃣ (- 8) X 4

2️⃣ (- 2) X ( -3)

3️⃣ ( - 5) X ( - 1)

4️⃣ (1 X 3)

Solution:

$1) - 8 \times 4$

When we multiply the positive number with a negative number, the answer will be negative because (-) x (+) = (+)

$= > - 32$

$2) - 2 \times - 3$

When we multiply two negative integers, the answer will always be positive because (-) x (-) = (+)

$= > 6$

$3) - 5 \times - 1$

When we multiply two negative integers, the answer will always be positive because (-) x (-) = (+)

$= > 5$

$4)1 \times 3$

we know that three times one is three.

$= > 3$

We can see from above, that option 2=> 6 satisfies the given question.

Hence, Option 2 => (-2) x (-3) is the highest product.
