To multiply the two numbers, we can apply the property of multiplication of negative numbers: the product of two negative numbers is positive.
We have:
- (-10) × (-55)
First, we multiply the absolute values:
10 × 55 = 550.
Since both numbers are negative, their product is positive:
-10 × (-55) = 550.
Therefore, the answer is:
C. 550
