Question

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Multiply the sets of numbers and match them with their products.

-24 * -4
-2 * -4
-8 * 9

Answer 1

To solve the multiplication problems presented by the student, we apply the rules of multiplying integers. Each pair of numbers is multiplied following these rules to yield the correct products: -24 * -4 = 96, -2 * -4 = 8, and -8 * 9 = -72.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asked to multiply sets of numbers and match them with their products. Using the rules for multiplication of integers, we can find the products for each pair:

• 
  
• -24 multiplied by -4 gives us +96, because the product of two negative numbers is positive.
• 
  
• -2 multiplied by -4 also results in a positive number, giving us +8.
• 
  
• -8 multiplied by 9 results in -72, since a negative multiplied by a positive yields a negative product.

So the correct pairs are -24 * -4 = 96, -2 * -4 = 8, and -8 * 9 = -72.
