Find each of the following products:(i) 3 × (-8) × 5(ii) 9 × (-3) × (-6)(iii) (-2) × 36 × (-5)(iv) (-2) × (-4) × (-6) × (-8)

Answer»

(i) Given 3 × (-8) ×5

Here we have to find the product of given number.

3 × (-8) × 5 = 3 × (-8 × 5)

=3 × -40 = -120

Since the product of two integers of opposite signs is equal to the additive inverse of the product of their absolute values.

(ii) Given 9 × (-3) × (-6)

Here we have to find the product of given number.

9 × (-3) × (-6) = 9 × (-3 × -6) [∵ the product of two integers of like signs is equal to the product of their absolute values.]

=9 × +18 = +162

(iii) Given (-2) × 36 × (-5)

Here we have to find the product of given number.

(-2) × 36 × (-5) = (-2 × 36) × -5 [∵ the product of two integers of like signs is equal to the product of their absolute values.]

=-72 × -5 = +360

(iv) Given (-2) × (-4) × (-6) × (-8)

Here we have to find the product of given number.

(-2) × (-4) × (-6) × (-8) = (-2 × -4) × (-6 × -8) [∵ the product of two integers of like signs is equal to the product of their absolute values.]

=-8 × -48 = +384
