Negative Numbers 2 (Medium)
Negative numbers are found in science, weather, and finance. In 11 Plus Maths, they help students understand numbers below zero and how they affect calculations.
1 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
-12 - 8 = ?
-12 - 8 = ?
0
20
-19
-20
12 + 8 = 20, so -12 - 8 = -20
2 .
Which of the following expressions is wrong?
-7 < 74
74 > -7
74 < -7
7 > -74
Negative numbers are always less than positive ones, so 74 is of course greater than -7
3 .
If the temperature is 5 degrees above zero, then falls by 8 degrees, what is the new temperature?
0⁰
-5⁰
-3⁰
3⁰
You could break this up to make it easier:
5 - 5 = 0, and 0 - 3 = -3
5 - 5 = 0, and 0 - 3 = -3
4 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
-16 + 24 - 8 = ?
-16 + 24 - 8 = ?
0
32
-32
-8
-16 + 24 is the same as 24 - 16, which equals 8. Then subtract 8 to give 0
5 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
3 - 17 + 4 + -2 = ?
3 - 17 + 4 + -2 = ?
-10
-12
-14
-16
You could group the positive and negative numbers together:
3 - 17 + 4 + -2 = (-17 + -2) + (3 + 4) = -19 + 7 = -12
3 - 17 + 4 + -2 = (-17 + -2) + (3 + 4) = -19 + 7 = -12
6 .
Which of the following expressions is correct?
-7.5 < -8
-7 > -6
0.5 < -0.5
-1.75 > -1.8
With negative numbers, the higher they are the lower: 1.8 is greater than 1.75, but -1.8 is less than -1.75
7 .
Which of the following expressions is wrong?
0 < -1
1 > 0
-1 > -2
2 > -4
Zero falls between positive and negative numbers, so it is greater than negatives but less than positives
8 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
11 - 18 + 7 - -4 = ?
11 - 18 + 7 - -4 = ?
0
4
-1
-4
11 - 18 + 7 - -4 is the same as (11 + 7) - 18 - -4 = 18 - 18 - -4 = 0 - -4 = 4
When subtracting a negative number, it's the same as adding a positive one
When subtracting a negative number, it's the same as adding a positive one
9 .
Which of the following expressions is correct?
100 < -100
-10 > 10
10 > -10
-100 > 100
Remember: positive numbers are always greater than negative ones
10 .
What happens if you add a negative number to a positive number?
It's the same as taking away a positive number
It's the same as adding a positive number
It's the same as adding zero
It's impossible
Adding a negative is the same as taking a positive:
5 - 2 = 3, and 5 + -2 = 3
5 - 2 = 3, and 5 + -2 = 3
