Answer 1

To determine the sign of the product of the two numbers \(-0.708\) and \(-6.24\), we can follow these rules of multiplication:

1. A negative number multiplied by a negative number gives a positive result.
2. A positive number multiplied by a positive number gives a positive result.
3. A positive number multiplied by a negative number gives a negative result.

Since both numbers, \(-0.708\) and \(-6.24\), are negative, their product will be positive.

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

The correct response is: positive.
