Question 96970
(4)(8) is this multipling?
Yes; multiplying can be written that way or 4*8 or 4(raised dot)8 or 4 x 8
or 4(8).
For all those the result is 32
----------------- 
(-5)(-5)(-5) = -125
(-5)(-5)=25
and when you multiply again by -5 you get -125
------------ 
and one more please 
54/-9  = -6
because "a positive number divided by a negative number is negative"
and "54 divided by 9 is 6"
------------
