The answer to a subtraction problem

• quotient

• product

• difference

• sum

Answer explanation

In subtraction, the result is called the 'difference'. The other terms refer to different operations: 'quotient' for division, 'product' for multiplication, and 'sum' for addition. Therefore, the correct answer is 'difference'.

an angle that is less than 90 degrees

• right angle

• acute angle

• obtuse angle

• straight angle

Answer explanation

An angle that is less than 90 degrees is called an acute angle. A right angle is exactly 90 degrees, an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees, and a straight angle is 180 degrees.

An angle that is greater than 90 degrees

• acute angle

• obtuse angle

• straight angle

• right angle

Answer explanation

An angle greater than 90 degrees is called an obtuse angle. Acute angles are less than 90 degrees, right angles are exactly 90 degrees, and straight angles are 180 degrees.

An angle that equals 90 degrees

• acute angle

• obtuse angle

• right angle

• straight angle

Answer explanation

A right angle is defined as an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. In contrast, acute angles are less than 90 degrees, obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, and straight angles measure 180 degrees.

An angle that measures 180 degrees

• acute angle

• obtuse angle

• right angle

• straight angle

Answer explanation

A straight angle measures exactly 180 degrees, forming a straight line. In contrast, acute angles are less than 90 degrees, obtuse angles are between 90 and 180 degrees, and right angles measure exactly 90 degrees.

The top number on a fraction

• numerator

• denominator

• mixed number

• improper fraction

Answer explanation

The top number in a fraction is called the numerator. It represents how many parts of the whole are being considered, while the bottom number, the denominator, indicates the total number of equal parts.

The bottom number of a fraction

• numerator

• denominator

• mixed number

• improper fraction

Answer explanation

In a fraction, the bottom number is called the denominator. It represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into, while the top number, or numerator, indicates how many parts are being considered.
