Select all that apply.
A) - (-1/2)

B) - (-8)
C) - 7.5


D) -2/3
E) - 1.25

Answer 1

Answer: C, D, E

Explanation:

A negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. In option A, for example, a one is implied in front of the first negative sign, thus: -1 * (-1/2) = 1/2. The same goes for option B, leaving C, D, and E as the only negative values.
