Maths Quiz - Negative Numbers 3 (Difficult) (Answers)
1. What is the answer to the given calculation?
(-8 + 5) x 2 = ?
[x] -6
[ ] -26
[ ] 6
[ ] -6.5
(-8 + 5) x 2 = -3 x 2 = -6. Remember: a negative times a positive equals a negative
2. What is the answer to the given calculation?
-6 x -6 = ?
[ ] -36
[x] 36
[ ] 6
[ ] 0
A negative times a negative equals a positive, so -6 x -6 is the same as 6 x 6 = 36
3. What is the answer to the given calculation?
-73 - 12 + -50 + 20 = ?
[ ] -86
[ ] -136
[x] -115
[ ] -75
We can group the numbers into positives and negatives:
-73 - 12 + -50 + 20 = (-73 + -12 + -50) + 20 = -135 + 20 = -115
4. What is the answer to the given calculation?
-64 - 18 - 20 + 18 = ?
[ ] -104
[ ] -124
[ ] -44
[x] -84
The -18 and +18 in this question cancel each other out:
-64 - 18 - 20 + 18 = -64 - 20 = -84
5. What is the answer to the given calculation?
-49 ÷ -7 = ?
[x] 7
[ ] 343
[ ] -7
[ ] -343
Remember: a negative divided by a negative equals a positive
6. What is the answer to the given calculation?
(-15 - 10) ÷ 5 = ?
[ ] 5
[x] -5
[ ] -1
[ ] 1
(-15 - 10) ÷ 5 = -25 ÷ 5 = -5. Remember: a negative divided by a positive equals a negative
7. What is the answer to the given calculation?
27 + -14 + -3 - 2 + 15 = ?
[ ] 41
[ ] 29
[x] 23
[ ] -7
We can group positive and negative numbers together:
27 + -14 + -3 - 2 + 15 = (-14 + -3 + -2) + (27 + 15) = -19 + 42 = 23
8. What is the answer to the given calculation?
-7 + 3 - 12 + 2 = ?
[ ] -24
[ ] -6
[ ] 0
[x] -14
Starting at -7: adding 3 makes -4, subtracting 12 makes -16, and adding 2 makes -14
9. What is the answer to the given calculation?
(2 x -4) ÷ 4 = ?
[ ] 2
[ ] -4
[x] -2
[ ] 4
(2 x -4) ÷ 4 = -8 ÷ 4 = -2. Remember: a positive times a negative equals a negative, and a negative divided by a positive equals a negative
10. What is the answer to the given calculation?
(-20 ÷ -5) x 10 = ?
[ ] -40
[ ] -150
[x] 40
[ ] 150
A negative divided by a negative equals a positive so -20 ÷ -5 is the same as 20 ÷ 5 = 4
4 x 10 = 40
