What is the product of –0.5 and –2?

–1
1
1.5
–1.5

The correct answer is: –1.5

This can be easily solved by multiplying –0.5 and –2 (-0.5) x (-2) = 1. Option A, -1, is the product of -1 and 1 which is not equivalent to the given numbers. Option B, 1, is not the correct product as it ignores the negative signs of the given numbers. Option C, 1.5, is the product of -0.5 and 3 which is not the correct operation as per the given question. Therefore, option D, -1.5, is the correct product of -0.5 and -2, as it takes into account the negative signs and correctly multiplies them to give a negative result.
