$\Rightarrow 240$ $color(blue)(=> 240$

$(- 5) \cdot (6) \cdot (- 8) \cdot (1)$ $(-5) * (6) * (-8) * (1)$

$\Rightarrow - 5 \cdot 6 \cdot - 8 \cdot 1, Removing braces$ $=> -5 * 6 * -8 * 1, color(red)("Removing braces"$

$\Rightarrow - 30 \cdot - 8 \cdot 1, Multiplication$ $=> -30 * -8 * 1, color(red)("Multiplication"$ #

$\Rightarrow + 240 \cdot 1, Multiplication$ $=> +240 * 1, color(red)("Multiplication"$

$\Rightarrow 240$ $color(blue)(=> 240$
