Which of these was multiplied by 88?
A.
a number less than zero
B.

C.

D.
a number greater than one

Answer 1

If a number is multiplied by 88 and the result is less than zero, then that number must be negative. This is because multiplying a positive number (greater than zero) by 88 would yield a positive result, and multiplying zero by 88 would yield zero.

Thus, the correct answer is:

A. a number less than zero.
