Integers Grade 6 Questions and Answers

  • 1. 

    Put in order from least to greatest: 12, 0, -1, -13, 4

    • A.

      0, -1, -13, 4, 12

    • B.

      12, 4, 0, -1, -13

    • C.

      -1, -13, 0, 4, 12

    • D.

      -13, -1, 0, 4, 12

    Correct Answer
    D. -13, -1, 0, 4, 12
    Explanation
    The numbers in ascending order (from least to greatest) are:-13, -1, 0, 4, 12This order is determined by comparing the numerical values of each number. Starting with the smallest value (-13) and progressing to the largest value (12), the numbers are arranged in ascending order.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    -4 + (-5) =

    • A.

      1

    • B.

      -9

    • C.

      -1

    • D.

      9

    Correct Answer
    B. -9
    Explanation
    The given expression is -4 + (-5). When adding two negative numbers, we add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. So, the absolute values of -4 and -5 are 4 and 5 respectively, and their sum is 9. Since both numbers are negative, the sum will be negative as well. Therefore, the correct answer is -9.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    -3 + 7

    • A.

      -10

    • B.

      10

    • C.

      4

    • D.

      -4

    Correct Answer
    C. 4
    Explanation
    The given expression -3 + 7 can be simplified by adding the two numbers together. -3 + 7 equals 4.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    -2 - (-4)

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      -2

    • C.

      6

    • D.

      -6

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The given expression is -2 - (-4). To subtract a negative number, we change the subtraction sign to addition and change the sign of the number being subtracted. So, -2 - (-4) becomes -2 + 4. Adding -2 and 4 gives us 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    (-9) - 7

    • A.

      -2

    • B.

      2

    • C.

      16

    • D.

      -16

    Correct Answer
    D. -16
    Explanation
    To solve this, you perform subtraction.
    -9 is a negative number, and when you subtract 7 from it, you're essentially moving further into the negative range on the number line.
    -9 minus 7 is calculated as follows:
    -9 - 7 = -16
    So, the result of subtracting 7 from -9 is -16.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Find the value of h - 3, when h = 1. 

    • A.

      4

    • B.

      2

    • C.

      -2

    • D.

      -4

    Correct Answer
    C. -2
    Explanation
    To find the value of h - 3 for h = 1, we substitute the value of h into the expression. So, h - 3 becomes 1 - 3, which simplifies to -2. Therefore, the correct answer is -2.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What will be the negative value of –13 (minus thirteen)?

    • A.

      -14

    • B.

      14

    • C.

      -12

    • D.

      13

    Correct Answer
    D. 13
    Explanation
    When you negate a negative number, it becomes positive. So, if you have -13 and you want its negative value, it is simply 13.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Write down the predecessor of – 5. 

    • A.

      -4

    • B.

      -6

    • C.

      5

    • D.

      6

    Correct Answer
    B. -6
    Explanation
    The predecessor of a number is the number that comes immediately before it when counting in a sequential order. In this case, we are looking for the number that comes before -5. Since we are counting in the negative direction, the number immediately before -5 is -6. So, -6 is the predecessor of -5. The predecessor of -5 is -6. In mathematics, when you find the predecessor of a number, you subtract 1 from that number. So, -5 - 1 = -6.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of these integers is in between the following pair of integers? – 8 and – 13

    • A.

      9, -10, -11, -12

    • B.

      -12, -11, -10, -9

    • C.

      12, 11, 10, 9

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. -12, -11, -10, -9
    Explanation
    The integers that come between -8 and -13 are -12, -11, -10, and -9. Other options contain positive integers which could not exist between -8 and -13. 

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What will the sum of these integers equal to? (- 8) + (+ 5) + (- 3) + (- 2)=

    • A.

      -5

    • B.

      -7

    • C.

      -8

    • D.

      8

    Correct Answer
    C. -8
    Explanation
    To find the sum, we add all the numbers together: -8 + 5 + (-3) + (-2) = -8 + 5 - 3 - 2 = -3 - 3 - 2 = -6 - 2 = -8. Therefore, the sum of the integer equation is -8.
