The operator that combines two number or quantities into one is called?
- A.
Subtraction
- B.
Modulo
- C.
Multiplication
- D.
Addition
Correct Answer
D. AdditionExplanation
The operator that combines two numbers or quantities into one is called addition. Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to find their total or sum. It is represented by the "+" symbol. When you add two numbers, you are essentially putting them together to get a larger quantity. Therefore, addition is the correct answer in this case.Rate this question:

Another mathematical operator which is used to remove one quantity or number from another is? called
- A.
Addition
- B.
Subtraction
- C.
Function
- D.
Division
Correct Answer
B. SubtractionExplanation
Subtraction is the mathematical operator used to remove one quantity or number from another. It involves finding the difference between two numbers by subtracting the smaller number from the larger one. This operation is commonly used in various mathematical problems, such as finding the change in quantities, determining the distance between two points, or calculating the result of a comparison. Subtraction is denoted by the minus sign (-) and is the opposite of addition.Rate this question:

A car lot has a total of 40 parking spaces. 7 cars are parked in the lot. 3 cars are driven away, and then 5 new cars arrive. A delivery truck takes up 2 parking spaces. How many parking spaces are now empty?
- A.
32
- B.
25
- C.
27
- D.
48
Correct Answer
C. 27Explanation
Start with the initial number of empty spaces: 40 total spaces - 7 cars = 33 empty spaces.
Subtract the cars that left: 33 empty spaces + 3 cars = 36 empty spaces.
Subtract the cars that arrived: 36 empty spaces - 5 cars = 31 empty spaces.
Subtract the spaces used by the truck: 31 empty spaces + 2 spaces = 33 empty spaces.
Therefore, there are 27 empty parking spaces.Rate this question:

- A.
Division
- B.
Float
- C.
Modulo
- D.
Multiplication
Correct Answer

- A.
Minus
- B.
Subtraction
- C.
Extraction
- D.
Division
Correct Answer
D. DivisionExplanation
Division is the correct answer because it is the mathematical operation that allows for a quantity to be split into smaller values. When dividing a number by another, it is essentially splitting the original quantity into equal or smaller parts. This is different from subtraction, which involves taking away a certain amount from a quantity, and extraction, which is not a recognized mathematical operation.Rate this question:
