Question

Use properties of operations and rules for multiplying signed numbers to multiply - ÷ by ~
-. Write the answer in simplest
form. (1 point)

Answer 1

To multiply - ÷ by ~, we can use the property of operations that states that the product of a negative number and a positive number is negative.

Thus, multiplying - ÷ by ~ can be rewritten as (-1) x (~).

And by the rule for multiplying signed numbers, the product of a negative number and a positive number is negative:

(-1) x (~) = -~

So the answer in simplest form is -~.
