Question

If $\left|x\right|=\left|\frac{-3}{5}\right|$ and $\left|y\right|=\left|\frac{4}{-7}\right|$ find $\left|x\right|\times \left|y\right|$

• A. $\frac{12}{35}$
• B. 1
• C. 0
• D. $\frac{35}{12}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{12}{35}$

$\left|x\right|=\left|\frac{-3}{5}\right|$ and $\left|y\right|=\left|\frac{4}{-7}\right|$

Since $|x|=|-x|$, therefore $|x|\times |y|=\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}=\frac{12}{35}$
