Final answer:

Multiplying an odd number of negative numbers always gives a negative answer.


Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying an odd number of negative numbers always gives a negative answer.

For example, if you multiply -3, -4, and -5 together, you get 60 which is negative.

This is because when you multiply two negative numbers, the result is always positive, and multiplying an odd number of negative numbers means there will be one negative number that does not get canceled out by a positive result.
