To determine the sign of the product, we need to consider the signs of the factors involved.
-16.8 is negative because it is preceded by a negative symbol.
3/7 is positive because both 3 and 7 are positive numbers.
When a negative number is multiplied by a positive number, the product is always negative.
Therefore, the sign of the product - 16.8 × 3/7 is negative.

The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. So, regardless of the value of "a", "b", or "c", for any non-zero numbers a, b, and c, a × b = b × a. However, it is important to note that the sign of the product may change depending on the signs of the factors involved.
