Integers — MCQ Questions
1What is (-5) + 8?
Show Answer+
Answer: 3
Hint: When adding a negative and a positive number, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger and keep the sign of the larger.
Solution:
We have (-5) + 8.
Since |8| > |-5|, subtract: 8 - 5 = 3. The result is positive. — (-5) + 8 = 3
2What is (-3) - (-7)?
Show Answer+
Answer: 4
Hint: Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive.
Solution:
Rewrite: (-3) - (-7) = (-3) + 7
Now add: — (-3) + 7 = 4
3What is (-6) × 4?
Show Answer+
Answer: -24
Hint: A negative number multiplied by a positive number gives a negative result.
Solution:
Multiply the absolute values: 6 × 4 = 24
One negative factor means the product is negative. — (-6) × 4 = -24
4What is (-18) ÷ (-3)?
Show Answer+
Answer: 6
Hint: When dividing two negative numbers, the result is positive.
Solution:
Divide the absolute values: 18 ÷ 3 = 6
Both numbers are negative, so the result is positive. — (-18) ÷ (-3) = 6
5Which of the following is the additive inverse of -12?
Show Answer+
Answer: 12
Hint: The additive inverse of a number is the number you add to it to get 0.
Solution:
The additive inverse of a number 'a' is '-a'.
Additive inverse of -12: — -(-12) = 12
6What is 0 × (-15)?
Show Answer+
Answer: 0
Hint: Any number multiplied by 0 gives 0.
Solution:
The multiplicative property of zero states: a × 0 = 0 for any integer a.
Therefore: — 0 × (-15) = 0
7Arrange in ascending order: -7, 3, -2, 5, -9
Show Answer+
Answer: -9, -7, -2, 3, 5
Hint: On a number line, numbers increase from left to right. More negative means smaller.
Solution:
Order the negatives first (more negative = smaller): -9, -7, -2
Then the positives in order: 3, 5 — Ascending: -9, -7, -2, 3, 5
8What is the value of |(-14)|?
Show Answer+
Answer: 14
Hint: The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0, which is always positive.
Solution:
Absolute value gives the distance from zero on the number line.
Distance is always non-negative: — |(-14)| = 14
9What is (-4) + (-9)?
Show Answer+
Answer: -13
Hint: Adding two negative numbers: add the absolute values and keep the negative sign.
Solution:
Both numbers are negative, so add absolute values: 4 + 9 = 13
Keep the negative sign: — (-4) + (-9) = -13
10What is (-8) × (-5)?
Show Answer+
Answer: 40
Hint: Negative times negative gives a positive result.
Solution:
Multiply absolute values: 8 × 5 = 40
Both factors are negative, so the product is positive. — (-8) × (-5) = 40
