Find the product
1. (-3) (8)
2. (-12)(-8)
3. -72 ÷ (-9)

1.) -24

2.) 96

3.) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) A negative number multiplied times a positive number will automatically equal a negative answer. Ex: (-9) (5) = -45

2.) A negative number multiplied times a negative number will autimatically equal a positive answer. Ex: (-4) (-5) = 20

3.) This is the same as the statement above, but all you're doing this time is dividing. A negative number divided by a negative number will equal a positive number. Ex: -36 ÷ (-9) = 4
