Answer 2

To determine the sign of the product \( \frac{17}{32} \times \left(-\frac{1}{10}\right) \):

1. \( \frac{17}{32} \) is a positive fraction.
2. \( -\frac{1}{10} \) is a negative fraction.

When you multiply a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative.

Therefore, the sign of the product \( \frac{17}{32} \times \left(-\frac{1}{10}\right) \) is **negative**.

Answer 3

To determine the sign of the product \(-0.708 \times -6.24\):

1. \(-0.708\) is negative.
2. \(-6.24\) is also negative.

When you multiply two negative numbers, the result is positive.

Therefore, the sign of the product \(-0.708 \times -6.24\) is **positive**.
