ANSWER SHEET

Instructions: Students should answer each question, showing all their work.

1. Use a number line to solve for: (-45) + 35 = - 1 0

-40 -30 -20 -10

2. Use a number line to solve for: (-75) – (-25) =

When we subtract a negative number, we are essentially adding the inverse, or opposite of that
number. Therefore, (-75) – (-25) = (-75) + (25) = - 5 0

-70 -60 -50 -40

3. Apply the distributive property to solve for: (85) x (-5) x (-10) = 𝟒𝟒, 𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐
85 • −10 • −5
(80 + 5) • −10 • −5
[(80 • −10) + (5 • −10)] • −5

 QUIZ: Segment 2
ANSWER SHEET

9. (-5.41) x (0.2) = -1.082.

First, we can ignore the decimals: -541 x 2 = -1082.
Next, we can add back in the decimal.
There are 2 decimal places in -5.41, and one decimal place in 0.2.
Therefore, we move three places to the left so that -1082 becomes -1.082.

10. The table shows Jill and Tom’s monthly expenses. Use the information in the table to answer
