Maths Quiz - Compare and Order Numbers 3 (Easy) (Answers)

1.

Starting from 3, if you move left along the number line 7 places, what number will you be on?

[x]	-4
[ ]	-3
[ ]	-2
[ ]	10

Remember that going LEFT means numbers decreasing. If you move LEFT 7 places starting from 3, the numbers become smaller and smaller.
3 - 7 = -4

2.

What number lies exactly halfway between 182 and 460?

[ ]	320
[x]	321
[ ]	322
[ ]	323

Here's how you solve problems like this: add both numbers together THEN divide by two:
(182 + 460) = 642. So, 642 ÷ 2 = 321

3.

How would you arrange the following numbers in descending order: 32, 9, -8, -6, 0?

[ ]	-8, -6, 0, 9, 32
[ ]	0, -6, -8, 9, 32
[x]	32, 9, 0, -6, -8
[ ]	0, 9, 32, -8, -6,

'Descending order' means that the numbers decrease in size as you read from left to right

4.

Which number lies exactly between -10 and 90?

[ ]	30
[ ]	35
[ ]	45
[x]	40

Here's how you solve problems like this: add both numbers together THEN divide by two:
(-10 + 90) = 80. So, 80 ÷ 2 = 40

5.

What is wrong with this calculation: 14 + 30 - 14 = 44

[x]	14 + 30 - 14 = 30
[ ]	14 + 30 - 14 = -30
[ ]	14 + 30 - 14 = -14
[ ]	14 + 30 - 14 = 14

-14 + 14 = 0. Whenever you have two identical numbers that differ only in sign - they cancel each other out to give zero

6.

How would you arrange the following numbers in ascending order: 15, -9, 22, 0, -17?

[ ]	22, 15, 0, -9, -17
[x]	-17, -9, 0, 15, 22
[ ]	-17, -9, 22, 15, 0
[ ]	15, 22, 0, -9, -17

'Ascending order' means that the numbers increase in size as you read from left to right

7.

Which of the following numbers is the largest: 2, -62, 0, -42?

[ ]	-62
[ ]	0
[x]	2
[ ]	-42

2 is the only number greater than zero, so it is the largest

8.

How many times bigger than 3 is 36?

[ ]	9 times bigger
[ ]	8 times bigger
[ ]	24 times bigger
[x]	12 times bigger

36 ÷ 3 = 12, so 36 is 12 times bigger than 3 because there are 12 lots of 3 in 36: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 36

9.

Which of the following is the biggest number: -1, -11, 0, -111?

[ ]	-111
[ ]	-11
[ ]	-1
[x]	0

All the other numbers are negative, so zero is the biggest number. ZERO IS A NUMBER

10.

How many times smaller than 45 is 5?

[ ]	7 times smaller
[ ]	8 times smaller
[x]	9 times smaller
[ ]	10 times smaller

45 ÷ 5 = 9, so 45 is 9 times bigger than 5 because there are 9 lots of 5 in 45: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 45
