Answer 1

To determine the sign of the product \(-16.8 \times \frac{3}{7}\), we can analyze the signs of both factors:

1. \(-16.8\) is negative.
2. \(\frac{3}{7}\) is positive (since both 3 and 7 are positive numbers).

When multiplying a negative number by a positive number, the result will be negative.

Therefore, the sign of the product \(-16.8 \times \frac{3}{7}\) is negative.
