Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine the sign of a product, we need to consider two factors:

1) The sign of each individual factor.
2) The number of negative factors in the product.

From the expression 17/32 × (-1/10), we can see that the first factor, 17/32, is positive.
The second factor, -1/10, is negative because it has a negative sign in front.

Since we have one negative factor in the product, the overall sign of the product will be negative.

Therefore, the sign of the product 17/32 × (-1/10) is negative.

To determine the sign of the product of 17/32 × (-1/10), we need to evaluate whether the outcome will be positive or negative.

Step 1: Calculate the product: 17/32 × (-1/10)
- Multiply the numerators: 17 × (-1) = -17
- Multiply the denominators: 32 × 10 = 320
- The product is: -17/320

Step 2: Determine the sign of the product:
Since the product is -17/320, which has a negative numerator, the overall product is negative.

Therefore, the sign of the product of 17/32 × (-1/10) is negative (-).
