Answer:

To multiply two minus numbers they will result as a positive number.

the product of any numbers when there is a negtive will always have 2 negtives invlved form three numbers including the answer.

-4 x -1.5 is the same as 4 x 1.5

the answer is 6

Three numbers like -1 x 4 will also be 2 numbers of negative.

= -4

We change this to -4 x 1.5 and shows the answer as -6

But the question had 2 negative numbers already and the answer is just positive 6.
