Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-8(7 - 3.2)\), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
We first subtract \(3.2\) from \(7\):
\[
7 - 3.2 = 3.8
\]

### Step 2: Multiply the result by \(-8\).
Then, we multiply \(-8\) by \(3.8\):
\[
-8 \times 3.8 = -30.4
\]

### Assigning the steps:
- **Step 1:** Simplify \(7 - 3.2\) to get \(3.8\).
- **Step 2:** Multiply \(-8\) by \(3.8\) to get \(-30.4\).

### Answer to Question 2:
The product is \(-30.4\).

So the final answers you should select would be:
- **Step 1:** \(7 - 3.2 = 3.8\)
- **Step 2:** \(-8 \times 3.8 = -30.4\)

And for the second question, select **-30.4**.
