25. A teacher gave the following multiplication problem to two students: (-6) × (4) = ?
• Student A answered -24
• Student B answered 24
Who is correct? Justify your choice.
a. Student A, because multiplying a negative number by a positive number results in a negative
product.
b. Student B, because multiplying any two numbers always gives a positive product.
c. Both students are correct, as multiplication is commutative.
d. Neither student is correct, because multiplying a negative and a positive number result in zero.
