The following integers are in order from least to greatest.-16, -10, -7, 1, 5, 20
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given statement is true because the integers -16, -10, -7, 1, 5, and 20 are indeed arranged in order from least to greatest. Starting from -16, each subsequent integer in the list is greater than the previous one, with 20 being the greatest integer in the list. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not an integer?
- A.
-3
- B.
2.7
- C.
770
- D.
0
Correct Answer
B. 2.7Explanation
The number 2.7 is not an integer because it has a decimal part. Integers are whole numbers without any fractional or decimal parts, and they can be positive, negative, or zero. In this case, -3, 770, and 0 are all whole numbers without any decimal parts, so they are integers. However, 2.7 has a decimal part of 0.7, so it is not an integer.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is true about the absolute value of integers?
- A.
The absolute value of any integer is always positive.
- B.
The absolute value of a positive integer is negative
- C.
The absolute value of a negative integer is equal to the integer itself.
- D.
The absolute value of zero is greater than zero.
Correct Answer
A. The absolute value of any integer is always positive.Explanation
The absolute value of an integer is the distance of that number from zero on a number line, regardless of direction. Therefore, the absolute value is always positive, except for zero, which has an absolute value of zero. The other statements are incorrect because the absolute value of a positive integer is positive, the absolute value of a negative integer is the positive version of that integer, and the absolute value of zero is exactly zero, not greater than zero.Rate this question:

Evaluate.- | 16 |
Correct Answer
-16Explanation
The expression |-16| evaluates to 16 because the absolute value of a negative number is the positive equivalent. Therefore, the absolute value of -16 is 16. Subtracting 16 from 16 gives us 0. However, since the expression is preceded by a negative sign, the final answer is -16.Rate this question:
