Answer 1

1. -24
2. 1
3. 18
4. -1
5. -20

Answer 2

down below.

Explanation:

One–third of the product of −8 and 9 = -24

-8(9) = -72

-72 / 3 OR -72(1/3) = -24

Half the sum of 8 and −6 = 1

8 + (-6) =2

2 / 2 = 1

Three times the sum of 12 and −6 = 18

12 + (-6) = 6

6 * 3 = 18

One-fifth the product of 1 and −5 = -1

1(-5) = -5

-5/5 = -1

Five times the sum of −8 and 4 = -20

-8 + 4 = -4

-4 * 5 = -20
