Please help I don't understand how to figure this out thank you

Answer 1

since positives are greater than negatives, greatest product will be positive, least will be negative

both must be positive or negative to have a positive product

a) 6*3 = 18

must have opposite signs to have negative product

b) 6 * -8 = -48
