Francesca 2

Francesca applied the steps below to find the product of (-1.2)(-9.4).

Step 1: (-1.2)(-9.4) = (-9.4)(-1.2)
Step 2:                   = (-9.4)(-1) + (-9.4)(-0.2)
Step 3:                   = (9.4) + (1.88)
Step 4:                   = 11.28

Which step shows where she applied the property that states multiplying two negative numbers will always yield a positive number?

Correct answer:

s =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} s=3 \\ \text{ Verifying Solution: } \\ p=(-1.2)\cdot (-9.4)=11.28 \end{gathered}$$
