Answer
### a) -6### b) 27### c) 12### d) -20
Explanation
## Step 1: Multiplying (+6) x (-1)### We start at 0 on the number line. Since we are multiplying by -1, we change the direction and move 6 units once in the negative direction. This lands us at -6.## Step 2: Multiplying (+3) x (+9)### We start at 0 on the number line. We move 9 units, 3 times in the positive direction. This lands us at 27.## Step 3: Multiplying (+2) x (+6)### We start at 0 on the number line. We move 6 units, 2 times in the positive direction. This lands us at 12.## Step 4: Multiplying (+4) x (-5)### We start at 0 on the number line. Since we are multiplying by -5, we change the direction and move 5 units, 4 times in the negative direction. This lands us at -20.
