MULTIPLYING INTEGERS
TASK 1 Calculate
Determine the answer to each of these multiplications. Negative numbers are sometimes included in
parentheses but can be written without them.
1 6×–1 2 –6 × 1 3 –6 × – 1
4 5 × –10 5 –3 × 2 6 –4 × (–7)
7 –8 × 2 × –1 8 –5 × (–3) × (–2) 9 –1 × –2 × –3 × –4
10 300 × – 70 11 –200 × –500 12 10 × 20 × –30
TASK 2 Complete the equations
Enter the missing value to make each equation true.
1 8× = –24 2 × –1 = –18 3 × –10 = 70
4 5× = –2 × 15 5 –3 × = –24 – 3 6 –2 × × 6 = –40 + 4
