Grade 6 Maths Integers Quiz (Part A)

Which of the following is a true statement ?

• non - comparable

Answer explanation

The correct statement is -4 < -3, which means -4 is less than -3. Therefore, the true statement is -4 < -3.

• 3

• 13

• -3

• none of these

Answer explanation

To solve 5−(−8), we can rewrite it as 5+8=13. Therefore, the correct answer is 13.

• -17

• -7

• 7

• none of these

Answer explanation

To solve -12 - (-5), we can rewrite it as -12 + 5, which equals -7. Therefore, the correct answer is -7.

The additive inverse of −5 is

• 5

• 0

• -4

• -6

Answer explanation

The additive inverse of -5 is the number that when added to -5 gives 0. Therefore, the additive inverse of -5 is 5, as -5 + 5 = 0.

The successor of -18 is

• -19

• 17

• -17

• 19

Answer explanation

The successor of -18 is the number that comes right after it. Since -18 is a negative number, the successor would be the next positive number, which is -17. Therefore, the correct choice is -17.

• −73

• 73

• 22

• none of these

Answer explanation

To find the sum of 49 and -27, we add them together: 49 + (-27) = 22. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.

• -43

• -31

• 31

• none of these

Answer explanation

To find the sum of -37 and 6, we simply add the numbers together: -37 + 6 = -31. Therefore, the correct answer is -31.

• 7

• none of these

Answer explanation

(−42) + (−35) = -77. When adding two negative numbers, we add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. Therefore, -42 + (-35) = -77.

• 4

• 10

• -10

• none of these

Answer explanation

To solve the expression, first calculate the absolute value of -3 which is 3. Then add 7 to 3 to get the final result of 10. Therefore, 7+|−3|=10.

2 less than −7 is

• −9

• -5

• 5

• none of these

Answer explanation

To find 2 less than -7, subtract 2 from -7 which gives -9. Therefore, the correct answer is -9.
