Question

associative & identity properties: -1/3 x (-3 x 4) x (-2)=

Answer 1

Answer

The answer is -8.

Explanation

The question wants us to multiply the given numbers. To do that, we follow the mathematical law and take care of the bracket first

-3 × 4 = -12

So, the question becomes

-1/3 × (-12) × (-2)

We can write it in a better form as

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-1}{3}\times-12\times-2 \\ =\text{ }\frac{-1\times-12\times-2}{3} \\ =\frac{-24}{3} \\ =\text{ -8} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is -8.
