Answer

Problem

Multiplication of integers:
\$ 8 times (- 3) times (- 2) \$

Step

The integers are

\$ 8,(- 3) and (- 2) \$

Formula:

Here we apply the two rules of Multiplication

\$ ( - ) times ( - ) = ( + ) \$

\$ ( + ) times ( + ) = ( + ) \$

Step

Let us multiply both positive and negative integers

\$ 8 times (- 3) times (- 2) \$

Step

Again multiply both the integers

\$ 8 times (+ 6) \$

Step

After multiplication we get

\$ 48 \$

Step

Therefore, the multiplication of integers is \$ 48\$.

Choice.A

This answer is wrong because the product of 8 × (− 3) × (− 2) is positive, not negative

(- 12)

Choice.B

This option is incorrect because it doesn’t represent the correct outcome of the multiplication. The product of 8 with (− 3) and (− 2) is positive, not negative

(- 16)

Choice.C

The accurate result of the multiplication 8 × (− 3) × (− 2) is 48, which is positive

Choice.D

This choice is inaccurate because it suggests a negative outcome. However, when we multiply 8 by (- 3) and (- 2), the result is positive, not negative

(- 24)
