To determine the sign of a product, we need to consider two factors:
1) The sign of each individual factor.
2) The number of negative factors in the product.
From the expression 17/32 × (-1/10), we can see that the first factor, 17/32, is positive.
The second factor, -1/10, is negative because it has a negative sign in front.
Since we have one negative factor in the product, the overall sign of the product will be negative.
Therefore, the sign of the product 17/32 × (-1/10) is negative.
Determine the sign of the product of 17/32 × (−1/10)
