Example Questions

Example Question #2581 : Algebra 1

Multiply the following integers: \(\displaystyle [9,3,11]\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 307\)

\(\displaystyle 278\)

\(\displaystyle 297\)

\(\displaystyle 397\)

\(\displaystyle 287\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 297\)

Explanation:

The order of multiplication does not matter. We can choose to multiply eleven by three or nine to save work.

Multiply eleven with three.

\(\displaystyle 11\times 3 = 33\)

Multiply thirty-three with nine.

\(\displaystyle 33 \times 9\)

Multiply the ones digits.

\(\displaystyle 3\times 9= 27\)

The carryover is the tens place. Multiply the ones digit with the tens digit and add the carryover.

\(\displaystyle 3\times 9 +2 = 29\)

Combine the numbers. The answer is \(\displaystyle 297\).

Example Question #121 : Real Numbers

Multiply the numbers:  \(\displaystyle 29 \times 8\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 232\)

\(\displaystyle 722\)

\(\displaystyle 242\)

\(\displaystyle 242\)

\(\displaystyle 1672\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 232\)

Explanation:

Multiply the ones digits.

\(\displaystyle 9 \times 8=72\)

The tens place will be the carryover for the next calculation.

Multiply the tens digit of 29 with the eight and add the carryover.

\(\displaystyle 2\times 8 +7 = 16+7 = 23\)

Combine this number with the ones digit of the first calculation.

The answer is:  \(\displaystyle 232\)

Example Question #123 : Real Numbers

Multiply:  \(\displaystyle 587 \times 8\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 4596\)

\(\displaystyle 4696\)

\(\displaystyle 4766\)

\(\displaystyle 4066\)

\(\displaystyle 4686\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 4696\)

Explanation:

Multiply the ones digit of 587 with the eight.

\(\displaystyle 7 \times 8 = 56\)

The tens place is the carryover.

Multiply the tens digit of 587 with the eight and add the carryover.

\(\displaystyle 8\times 8+5 = 69\)

The tens place is the carryover.

Multiply the hundreds digit of 587 with the eight and add the carryover.

\(\displaystyle 5\times 8+6 = 46\)

Combine this number with the ones digits in the other calculations.

The answer is:  \(\displaystyle 4696\)

Example Question #121 : Integer Operations

Multiply:  \(\displaystyle 26\times 8\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 248\)

\(\displaystyle 228\)

\(\displaystyle 168\)

\(\displaystyle 208\)

\(\displaystyle 148\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 208\)

Explanation:

Multiply the ones digit of 26 with eight.

\(\displaystyle 6\times8=48\)

The tens place is the carryover.

Multiply the tens digit of 26 with eight and add the carryover.

\(\displaystyle 2\times 8 +4 = 16+4 =20\)

Combine this number with the ones digit of the first calculation.

The answer is: \(\displaystyle 208\)

Example Question #2582 : Algebra 1

Solve:  \(\displaystyle 91\times 31\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 2701\)

\(\displaystyle 2821\)

\(\displaystyle 2721\)

\(\displaystyle 2711\)

\(\displaystyle 2781\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 2821\)

Explanation:

Multiply 91 with the ones digit.

\(\displaystyle 91\times 1 =91\)

Skip a line and multiply 91 with the tens digit.

\(\displaystyle 91 \times 3 = 273\)

Add a zero at the end of this number.

\(\displaystyle 2730\)

Sum this number with the first number we have calculated.

\(\displaystyle 2730+91 =2821\)

The answer is:   \(\displaystyle 2821\)

Example Question #2582 : Algebra 1

Multiply the integers:  \(\displaystyle 15\times 48\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 460\)

\(\displaystyle 720\)

\(\displaystyle 280\)

\(\displaystyle 780\)

\(\displaystyle 660\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 720\)

Explanation:

Multiply the first number with the ones digit of the second number.

\(\displaystyle 15\times 8 = 120\)

Skip a line, and multiply the first number with the tens digit of the second number.

\(\displaystyle 15\times 4= 60\)

We will need to add a zero to the right of this number.

\(\displaystyle 600\)

Add this number with the first number.

\(\displaystyle 600+120 = 720\)

The answer is:  \(\displaystyle 720\)

Example Question #1 : How To Add Integers

Solve the expression  \(\displaystyle 13+(-3)\).

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 39\)

\(\displaystyle 13\)

\(\displaystyle 10\)

\(\displaystyle -39\)

\(\displaystyle 16\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 10\)

Explanation:

Adding a negative is the same as subtraction.

\(\displaystyle 13+(-3)=13-3=10\)

Example Question #2 : How To Add Integers

What is the sum of all of the even integers from 2 to 2,000, inclusive?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 990,000\)

\(\displaystyle 1,000,000\)

\(\displaystyle 999,000\)

\(\displaystyle 1,010,000\)

\(\displaystyle 1,001,000\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 1,001,000\)

Explanation:

Pair the numbers as follows:

\(\displaystyle 2+2000=2,002\)

\(\displaystyle 4+1998=2,002\)

\(\displaystyle 6+1996=2,002\)

...

\(\displaystyle 1,000+1,002=2,002\)

There are 500 such pairs, so adding all of the even integers from 2 to 2,000 is the same as taking 2,002 as an addend 500 times. This can be rewritten as a multiplication.

\(\displaystyle 2,002* 500 = 1,001,000\)

Example Question #2 : How To Add Integers

Simplify

\(\displaystyle (-15)+12+(-4)+1\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle -7\)

\(\displaystyle -9\)

\(\displaystyle 7\)

\(\displaystyle -6\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle -6\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle (-15)+12+(-4)+1\)

When adding integers first consider the signs of the numbers being added. Then simply work right to left. \(\displaystyle -15+12\rightarrow-3+(-4)\rightarrow-7+1=-6\)

So the answer is \(\displaystyle -6\)

 

Example Question #3 : How To Add Integers

Consider the expression:

\(\displaystyle \left ( 2 + y\right ) \div z ^{2} - 6\)

If you know the value of \(\displaystyle y\) and \(\displaystyle z\), then in which order would you carry out the four operations in this expression in order to evaluate it?

Possible Answers:

Add, divide, subtract, square

Square, divide, add, subtract

Square, subtract, add, divide

Add, divide, square, subtract

Add, square, divide, subtract

Correct answer:

Add, square, divide, subtract

Explanation:

According to the order of operations:

Work any operation in parentheses first - here it would be the addition.

What remains would be an exponent (the squaring), a division, and a subtraction, which, according to the order of operations, would be worked in that order.
