To determine the sign of the product of two fractions, we need to consider the signs separately.
The fraction 17/32 is positive because both the numerator and denominator are positive.
The fraction -1/10 is negative because the numerator is negative and the denominator is positive.
When we multiply a positive number by a negative number, the product is always negative.
Therefore, the sign of the product of 17/32 × (- 1/10) is negative.
