    • +

    • -

    • *

    • /

    • =

    Correct Answer
    A. =
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "=" because in mathematics, the symbol "=" is used to indicate equality or equivalence between two expressions or values. It is used to show that the value on the left side of the equation is equal to the value on the right side. Therefore, all formulae begin with the "=" sign to establish this equality.

    Spreadsheets are arranged in...

    • Columns and rows

    • Lines and numbers

    • Cells and references

    Correct Answer
    A. Columns and rows
    Explanation
    Spreadsheets are arranged in columns and rows to create a grid-like structure. Columns are vertical sections that are labeled with letters, while rows are horizontal sections labeled with numbers. This arrangement allows data to be organized and displayed in a tabular format, with each cell representing a unique intersection of a column and row. Cells can contain various types of data, such as numbers, text, or formulas, while references enable linking and accessing data from other cells within the spreadsheet.

    • To make numbers prettier.

    • To organise data in a table.

    • To help us calculate rapidly, explore different options and represent data in charts.

    Correct Answer
    A. To help us calculate rapidly, explore different options and represent data in charts.
    Explanation
    Spreadsheets are used to help us calculate rapidly by performing various mathematical operations on the data. They also allow us to explore different options by easily changing values and formulas. Additionally, spreadsheets enable us to represent data in charts, making it easier to visualize and analyze the information.

    Example/s of a cell reference.

    • 5B

    • C1

    • L99

    • I8

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. C1
    A. L99
    A. I8
    Explanation
    The given examples represent cell references in a spreadsheet. In a spreadsheet, cells are identified by their column and row labels. The first example "C1" refers to the cell in column C and row 1. Similarly, "L99" refers to the cell in column L and row 99, and "I8" refers to the cell in column I and row 8. Cell references are used to refer to specific cells in formulas or to retrieve data from those cells.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    I want to multiply the number in cell E2 by that in cell B5. What is the formula?

    • =E2*B5

    • =E2xB5

    • =B5*E2

    • E2*B5=

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. =E2*B5
    A. =B5*E2
    Explanation
    The correct answer is =E2*B5 or =B5*E2. Both formulas will multiply the number in cell E2 by the number in cell B5. The order of the cells being multiplied does not matter in multiplication, so both formulas are correct.
