ANSWERS
Whole Numbers
CHAPTER 1
1. Which of the following is an incorrect classification of a number?
1. Inverse
2. Rational
3. Decimals
4. Fractions
ANS: 1
Rationale: Numbers may be expressed as integers, rational or irrational numbers, real
numbers, fractions, decimals, whole numbers, or factors. Inverse in not a classification of a
number.
2. Place these mathematical operations in the order that they should be performed:
a. Perform the operations that require adding or subtracting, starting from left to right.
b. Perform the operations that are inside the parentheses first.
c. Perform the operations that require multiplying or dividing, starting from left to right.
1. c, b, a
2. b, c, a
3. a, b, c
4. a, c, b
ANS: 2
Rationale: This is the correct order for performing mathematical operations.
3. Which of these numbers are considered whole numbers? Select all that apply.
1. 10,000
2. 0.6
3. 7
4. 3/5
ANS: 1, 3
Rationale: Whole numbers are called natural numbers or counting numbers. They include 0
and all positive numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on.
4. Which signs indicate that a division operation should be performed? Select all that apply.
1. ×
2. /
3. ÷
4. -
ANS: 2, 3
Rationale: The symbols / and ÷ indicate division. The other symbols indicate multiplication and
subtraction.
5. Which sign(s) indicate that a multiplication operation should be performed? Select all that
apply.
1. +
, Dimensional Analysis Calculating Dosages Safely 3rd Edition Tracy Horntvedt Test Bank | All Chapters .
2. /
3. *
4. x
ANS: 3, 4
Rationale: The symbols x and * indicate multiplication. The other symbols indicate addition
and division.
6. Which of the equations below correctly indicates the distributive property of number?
1. 10 + 7 = 7 + 10
2. (3 + 6) + 8 = 3 + (6 + 8)
3. (14 x 2) x 3 = 14 x (2 x 3)
4. 9 x (7 + 1) = (9 x 7) + (9 x 1)
ANS: 4
Rationale: The distributive property demonstrates that multiplication must be “distributed” to
all terms inside a bracket (a x (b + c) – (a x b) + (a x c). Answer1 demonstrates the commutative
property; answer 2 and 3 demonstrates the associative property.
7. For the number 2,875,634, which number is in the hundreds place?
1. 2
2. 8
3. 6
4. 4
ANS: 3
Rationale: The place value in the hundreds place is the third value from right to left.
8. For the number 342,916, which number is in the ten-thousands place?
1. 3
2. 4
3. 1
4. 9
ANS: 2
Rationale: The place value in the ten-thousands place is the fifth value from right to left.
9. 12 + 42 = ________
ANS: 54
10. 6,157 + 816 = ________
ANS: 6,973
11. 8,153,757 + 4,514 = ________
ANS: 8,158,271
12. 54 – 36 = ________
ANS: 18
13. 845 – 627 = ________
ANS: 218
