PRACTICE QUESTIONS & VERIFIED ANSWERS

Section 1: Real Numbers & Inequalities

Q1. Place the correct symbol (<, >, or =) between the two numbers:

,Question Answer

-15 ___ 6 -15 < 6

-26 ___ -5 -26 < -5

-12 ___ -20 -12 > -20

-8 ___ 0 -8 < 0


Rationale: Negative numbers are always less than positive numbers. Among negative
numbers, the number with the larger absolute value is smaller. So -12 > -20 because -12
is closer to zero .




Section 2: Absolute Value

Q2. Evaluate the following:


Expression Answer

-4 4

- -6 -6

- 3 -3

- -8 -8

[-3] 3

-[-6] -6

, Expression Answer

[4] 4

-[17] -17


Rationale: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line,
always non-negative. The negative sign outside the absolute value bars is applied after
evaluating the absolute value .




Section 3: Integer Operations

Q3. Perform the following operations:


Expression Answer

4+7= 11

-6 + (-2) = -8

-15 + (-5) = -20

2 + (-7) = -5

-3 + 7 = 4

6 + (-2) = 4

5-3= 2

-2 - (-8) = 6
