  • 2. 

    Integers are whole numbers that describe opposite ideas in mathematics.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Integers are indeed whole numbers that include both positive and negative numbers, as well as zero. They are used to represent quantities that can be counted or measured, such as the number of objects or the temperature. Therefore, the statement "Integers are whole numbers that describe opposite ideas in mathematics" is true.

    Which would NOT be represented by a negative number?

    • Below sea level

    • A decrease in temperature

    • A withdrawal of money

    • An increase in pay rate

    Correct Answer
    A. An increase in pay rate
    Explanation
    An increase in pay rate would not be represented by a negative number because it implies a positive change or growth in income. A negative number is typically used to represent a decrease or loss in value, such as below sea level, a decrease in temperature, or a withdrawal of money.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Arrange the given set of integers in ascending order. { -1, 3, -5, -7 }

    • { -1, 3, -5, -7 }

    • { -7, -5, -1, 3 }

    • { -1, -5, -7, 3 }

    • { -5, -7, -1, 3 }

    Correct Answer
    A. { -7, -5, -1, 3 }
    Explanation
    The given set of integers is {-1, 3, -5, -7}. To arrange them in ascending order means to sort them from smallest to largest. The correct answer is {-7, -5, -1, 3} because it follows the ascending order. -7 is the smallest integer, followed by -5, then -1, and finally 3, which is the largest integer in the set.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Absolute value measures the:

    • Opposite

    • Distance of a number to 0

    • GCF

    • LCM

    Correct Answer
    A. Distance of a number to 0
    Explanation
    Absolute value measures the distance of a number from 0 on the number line. It gives 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 0 on the number line. Similarly, the absolute value of 5 is also 5, as it is also 5 units away from 0. Therefore, the correct answer is the distance of a number to 0.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Monday's temperature was -3°C and Tuesdays was -5°C. Which day was colder? 

    • Neither they were equal 

    • Monday

    • Tuesday

    • Friday

    Correct Answer
    A. Tuesday
    Explanation
    Tuesday was colder because it had a lower temperature of -5°C compared to Monday's temperature of -3°C.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following are arranged from least to greatest?

    • -4, -6, 2, 4

    • 2, 0, 1, 3, 5

    • -8, -1, 3, 7, 5

    • -8, -5, -3, -1

    Correct Answer
    A. -8, -5, -3, -1
    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because it correctly arranges the numbers in ascending order from least to greatest. The numbers -8, -5, -3, and -1 are arranged in increasing order, with -8 being the smallest and -1 being the largest. Therefore, this sequence is arranged from least to greatest.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which symbol will make the sentence true? | 4 - 3 | ___ 1

    • >

    • <

    • =

    Correct Answer
    A. =
    Explanation
    The symbol "=" will make the sentence true. By subtracting 3 from 4, we get a result of 1, and since the equal sign indicates that both sides of the equation are equal, the sentence becomes true.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What is used to represent about sitting at the sea level?

    • Positive Number

    • Negative Number

    • 0

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    Explanation
    The answer is 0 because sitting at sea level means being at the same elevation as the surface of the sea, which is considered the baseline or reference point for measuring elevation. Therefore, the representation of sitting at sea level is 0, as there is no positive or negative deviation from this reference point.
