About This Quiz

Explore the world of integers with the 'Integers Test: Math Trivia!' This quiz assesses understanding of integer operations, absolute values, and properties of multiplication. Essential for students enhancing their mathematical reasoning and number manipulation skills.

2.

6 + -8 =
- 4
- -2
- 2
- 0
Correct Answer

A. -2

Explanation

When we add a positive number to a negative number, we subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number, and then assign the sign of the larger number to the result. In this case, adding 6 and -8 means subtracting the absolute value of -8 (which is 8) from the absolute value of 6 (which is 6), resulting in 2. Since -8 is the larger number and it is negative, the result is -2.

A negative integer multiplied by a negative integer produces a positive product.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

When two negative integers are multiplied together, the result is a positive product. This can be understood by considering the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. For example, if we have -2 multiplied by -3, it can be interpreted as adding -2 three times: -2 + (-2) + (-2) = -6. Similarly, if we have -3 multiplied by -4, it can be interpreted as adding -3 four times: -3 + (-3) + (-3) + (-3) = -12. In both cases, we can observe that the product is positive. Therefore, the statement is true.

Absolute value is distance from zero.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The statement "Absolute value is distance from zero" is true. The absolute value of a number is the distance between that number and zero on the number line. It represents the magnitude or size of a number without considering its sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, as it is 5 units away from zero in the negative direction. Similarly, the absolute value of 5 is also 5, as it is 5 units away from zero in the positive direction. Therefore, the statement is correct.

-5 * -3 =
- 8
- -4
- 15
- -9
Correct Answer

A. 15

Explanation

When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is always positive. In this case, -5 multiplied by -3 gives us a positive value. Therefore, the correct answer is 15.

8 - (-3) =
- 11
- -11
- 5
- -5
Correct Answer

A. 11

Explanation

When subtracting a negative number, it is the same as adding the positive counterpart. In this case, we have 8 minus the negative 3. By adding the positive 3 to 8, we get 11. Therefore, the correct answer is 11.

-12 + -3 =
- 15
- -15
- 9
- -9
Correct Answer

A. -15

Explanation

The correct answer is -15 because when you add a negative number to another negative number, the result is a negative number. In this case, -12 plus -3 equals -15.

9/-3 =
- 0
- 3
- -6
- -3
Correct Answer

A. -3

Explanation

When dividing 9 by -3, the result is -3. This is because when a positive number is divided by a negative number, the quotient is negative. In this case, 9 divided by -3 equals -3.

The rule for the subtraction of integers is to add the opposite.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The rule for subtracting integers is to add the opposite. This means that when subtracting integers, you can change the subtraction sign to addition and change the sign of the number being subtracted to its opposite. By doing this, you can then add the two numbers together. Therefore, the statement "The rule for the subtraction of integers is to add the opposite" is true.

A positve integer divided by a negative integer gives a positive quotient.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

When a positive integer is divided by a negative integer, the quotient will be negative. This is because dividing a positive number by a negative number results in a negative value. Therefore, the statement that a positive integer divided by a negative integer gives a positive quotient is incorrect.
