Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

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 


$ \dfrac { 15\times (-24)\times -18 }{ -(27)\times (20) } =\dfrac {3 \times 8 \times 18}{-9\times 4}=-3\times 2\times2 = -12 $

C Correct answer
Explanation

Given, $

\dfrac { (-8) \times 8 \times (-8) \times (-8) }{ (-4)\times (-4) \times (-4) \times (-4) } $

As there are $ 3 $ negative numbers in the numerator and $ 4 $ in the denominator, the answer will be negative.

Canceling out the common factors and simplifying we get

$ \dfrac { (-8) \times 8 \times (-8) \times (-8) }{ (-4)\times (-4) \times (-4) \times (-4) }   =2\times -2\times2\times2 = - 16 $
