  • 2. 

    Which comparison is NOT true?

    • -15 > -13

    • -7 < 6

    • -23 < 22

    • 8 > -8

    Explanation
    Negative numbers are always smaller than positive numbers.

    Numbers get smaller as they move further from zero.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Over a 4-month period, the total change in the average high temperature was -32 degrees.  What was the average change per month?

    • 8 degrees

    • -128 degrees

    • -28 degrees

    • -8 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. -8 degrees
    Explanation
    If you know the total and the time period, you would divide to get the amount of change per month. If you have different signs when you are dividing integers, your answer will be negative.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Listed below are temperatures for four cities.  Using this information, determine which statement is true.
    • Denver: -5 degrees F
    • Chicago: -12 degrees F
    • New York City: -8 degrees F
    • Minneapolis: -15 degrees F

    • Chicago is colder than Denver, but warmer than New York City.

    • New York City is colder than Chicago and Minneapolis.

    • Denver is warmer than New York City and Minneapolis.

    • Denver is the coldest of the four cities listed.

    Correct Answer
    A. Denver is warmer than New York City and Minneapolis.
    Explanation
    Further away from zero means that the city is colder. If you ordered the cities from wamest to coldest, it would be in this order:

    Denver, New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis

    Therefore, Denver is warmer than New York City and Minneapolis.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    On the hottest day in Richmond, Virginia, the temperature was 105 degrees F.  On the coldest day, the temperature was 117 degrees F lower.  What was the coldest temperature in Richmond?

    • -117 degrees F

    • -12 degrees F

    • 12 degrees F

    • 117 degrees F

    Correct Answer
    A. -12 degrees F
    Explanation
    105-117
    105 + -117 LEAVE CHANGE CHANGE
    Different signs - subtract the numbers and keep the sign of the one you have more of.

    117-105 = 12
    You had more negative to begin with, so your answer is -12.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    One day in Butte, Montana the temperature started out at 50 degrees.  Over the course of the day, the temperature dropped 4 degrees per hour for 6 consecutive hours.  Which procedure could be used to determine the temperature after 6 hours?

    • Divide 6 by – 4. Add the quotient to 50.

    • Divide 50 by 6. Add the quotient to – 4.

    • Multiply 4 by 6. Add the product to 50.

    • Multiply -4 by 6. Add the product to 50.

    Correct Answer
    A. Multiply -4 by 6. Add the product to 50.
    Explanation
    If the temperature is dropping, that is represented by a negative number. You know how much it is dropping each hour and the total hours, so you would multiply the numbers to get the total amount the temperature dropped.

    -4 x 6

    This answer would then be added to the beginning temperature to get the current temperature.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    ABC Company lost $21,000 in the first quarter of the year.  They lost the same amount each of the other three quarters.  Which integer represents the amount they lose for the year?  (Think about how many quarters there are in a whole year!)

    • $63,000

    • -$63,000

    • $84,000

    • -$84,000

    Correct Answer
    A. -$84,000
    Explanation
    There are FOUR quarters in a year.

    If the company lost $21,000, that would be represented as a negative integer. You would multiply
    -$21,000 by 4 to get the total amount lost for the year.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The entrance to a mine is 1,890 feet above sea level.  The bottom of a mine is 3,642 feet below the entrance.  What is the elevation at the bottom of the mine?

    • 1,752 feet

    • 5,532 feet

    • -1,752 feet

    • -5,532 feet

    Correct Answer
    A. -1,752 feet
    Explanation
    Above sea level would be a positive integer. If the mine is below the entrance you would subtract.

    1,890 - 3,642
    1,890 + -3,642 (LEAVE CHANGE CHANGE)

    Different signs - subtract the numbers and keep the sign of the one you have more of.

    3,642 - 1,890 = 1,752
    You had more negative to begin with, so your answer is -1,752.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Bryan swam to a depth of 29 feet below sea level while diving.  He descended another 31 feet.  He then rose up 16 feet.  Which process could be used to find Bryan's current depth?

    • Start with -29, subtract 31, then add 16

    • Start with 29, subtract 31, then add 16

    • Start with -29, add 31, then subtract 16

    • Start with 29, add 31, then add 16

    Correct Answer
    A. Start with -29, subtract 31, then add 16
    Explanation
    You start with -29 because below sea level is represented as a negative. To descend means to go down, so you would then subtract 31. If Bryan rose up, he went higher, so you would add 16.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Billy has stock in Walmart.  The ending balance on the stock for the last five days were: +$5, +$2, -$4, -$8 and  -$10.  What was the average daily change in Billy's stock?

    • -$3

    • -$15

    • $29

    • -$6

    Correct Answer
    A. -$3
    Explanation
    If you are finding an average, you would add all of the numbers and divide by how many numbers you have.

    5 + 2 + -4 + -8 + -10 = -15

    The stock dropped $15 over a five day period, so you would divide to see how much it dropped per day.

    -15 / 5 = -3
