Question 5: Find the product of the given numbers.

(a) [tex]\((-9) \times 8 \times 11 =\)[/tex] [tex]\(\qquad\)[/tex]

(b) [tex]\(11 \times 12 \times (-13) =\)[/tex] [tex]\(\qquad\)[/tex]

(c) [tex]\((-8) \times 7 \times (-3) =\)[/tex] [tex]\(\qquad\)[/tex]



Answer :

Let's find the product of the given numbers step-by-step.

### Part (a): [tex]\((-9) \times 8 \times 11\)[/tex]
1. First, multiply [tex]\(-9\)[/tex] and [tex]\(8\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ -9 \times 8 = -72 \][/tex]
2. Next, multiply the result by [tex]\(11\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ -72 \times 11 = -792 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\((-9) \times 8 \times 11 = -792\)[/tex].

### Part (b): [tex]\(11 \times 12 \times (-13)\)[/tex]
1. First, multiply [tex]\(11\)[/tex] and [tex]\(12\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 11 \times 12 = 132 \][/tex]
2. Next, multiply the result by [tex]\(-13\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 132 \times (-13) = -1716 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(11 \times 12 \times (-13) = -1716\)[/tex].

### Part (c): [tex]\((-8) \times 7 \times (-3)\)[/tex]
1. First, multiply [tex]\(-8\)[/tex] and [tex]\(7\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ -8 \times 7 = -56 \][/tex]
2. Next, multiply the result by [tex]\(-3\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ -56 \times (-3) = 168 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\((-8) \times 7 \times (-3) = 168\)[/tex].

### Summary
Here are the results for each part:
(a) [tex]\((-9) \times 8 \times 11 = -792\)[/tex]
(b) [tex]\(11 \times 12 \times (-13) = -1716\)[/tex]
(c) [tex]\((-8) \times 7 \times (-3) = 168\)[/tex]
