Adding Negative Integers Practice

The video tutorial explains how to add negative integers using various real-life examples. It covers temperature changes, tilt adjustments, fish location relative to sea level, savings account deductions, and a deep-sea diver's position. Each example is illustrated using a number line, and the rules for adding negative integers are reviewed, emphasizing the sum of absolute values and maintaining the sign of the addends.

Dana recorded a temperature drop of 2 degrees followed by another drop of 3 degrees. What is the total change in temperature?

• -1 degree

• -6 degrees

• -3 degrees

• -5 degrees

What is the first step in adding two negative integers?

• Multiply the two numbers

• Divide the two numbers

• Find the sum of the absolute values

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number

Nita adjusted the tilt of a photo by -4 degrees and then by another -6 degrees. What is the total tilt adjustment?

• -2 degrees

• -8 degrees

• -10 degrees

• -12 degrees

A shark is swimming 60 feet below the surface of the ocean. A fish is 25 feet deeper. What is the fish's location relative to the surface?

• -85 feet

• -95 feet

• -35 feet

• -60 feet

What is the second step in adding two negative integers?

• Use the same sign as the add-ins

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number

• Divide the two numbers

• Multiply the two numbers

Janet deducted $5 on Monday and another $6 on Tuesday from her savings account. What is the total deduction?

• -12 dollars

• -10 dollars

• -13 dollars

• -11 dollars

What is the first step in solving the expression for Janet's deductions?

• Divide the two numbers

• Multiply the two numbers

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number

• Find the sum of the absolute values

A deep-sea diver dives 81 feet from the surface, then 14 more feet, and another 21 feet. What is the diver's present location relative to sea level?

• -120 feet

• -116 feet

• -110 feet

• -100 feet

What is the sum of the absolute values in the diver's dive calculation?

• 110

• 115

• 100

• 116

What is the final step in adding negative integers?

• Divide the two numbers

• Multiply the two numbers

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number

• Use the same sign as the add-ins
