Question

The value of $\frac{15\times (-24)\times (-18)}{-\left(27\right)\times \left(20\right)}$ is

• A. -16
• B. -15
• C. -12
• D. 12

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

As there are $2$ negative numbers in the numerator and $1$ in the denominator, the answer will be negative.

Cancelling out the common factors and simplifying we get

$\frac{15\times (-24)\times (-18)}{-\left(27\right)\times \left(20\right)}=\frac{3\times 8\times 18}{-9\times 4}=-3\times 2\times 2=-12$
