Find the product of 1.6(0.5)(20)-1.6(0.5)(-20) and write the answer in simplest form.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are asked to find the product of three numbers: 1.6-1.6, 0.50.5, and 20-20.
2. The product should be simplified to its simplest form.

STEP 2

To find the product of three numbers, we multiply them together.
Product=1.6×0.5×(20)Product = -1.6 \times 0.5 \times (-20)

STEP 3

We can first multiply the two negative numbers together. Multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number.
1.6×(20)=1.6×20-1.6 \times (-20) = 1.6 \times 20

STEP 4

Now, multiply 1.61.6 by 2020.
1.6×20=321.6 \times 20 = 32

STEP 5

Next, we multiply the result by 0.50.5.
Product=32×0.5Product = 32 \times 0.5

STEP 6

Calculate the final product.
Product=32×0.5=16Product = 32 \times 0.5 = 16
The product in simplest form is 1616.
