Answer
Question 3
Karim lives in Shrinagar , Kashmir. The table below shows the temperature changes in Shrinagar over three hour period.
| Time | Change in temperature |
| 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. | -1.5 0 C |
| 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. | -2.6 0 C |
| 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. | +1 0 C |
Karim noticed that temperature at 5 a.m. was -3.5 0 C . What is the temperature of Kashmir at 8 a.m.
Hint:- Start with temperature at 5 a.m. and add the change in temperature over three hour period to find the temperature at 8 a.m.
Answer
Temperature at 6= Temperature at 5 + change in temperature =-3.5 -1.5 =-5.0 0 C
Temperature at 7= Temperature at 6 + change in temperature =-5.0 -2.6 =-7.6 0 C
Temperature at 8= Temperature at 7 + change in temperature =-7.6 +1 =-6.6 0 C
Question 4
Tell whether the following statements are always true, sometimes true or always false./p> a. If a positive is subtracted from a negative integer, the difference is a negative integer.
b. If a positive integer is subtracted from a positive integer, the difference is a positive integer.
Answer
a. Always true
-4 - (5) = -9 , -1 -(1) =-2
b.sometimes true
9 -4 =5 , 4 -5 =-1
Question 5 Find solutions for the following problems:
a. Both numbers are less than 10.
The distance between the two numbers on the number line is 14.
b.Both numbers are greater than -15 and less than 5
One number is 6 greater than the other number.
c.The numbers are opposites.
The distance between the two numbers on the number line is 18.
d.One number is -35.
The distance between the two numbers on the number line is 20.
e.The first number is the opposite of -17.
The second number is less than the first number.
The distance between the two numbers on the number line is 9.
Answer
These questions can be easily solved using the number line.
a. There can be many solutions, one solution will be 7 and -7. They both are less 10 and difference is 14
Other solution could be -11 and 3.They both are less 10 and difference is 14
b. There can be many solutions, one solution will be -14 and -8.
Other solution could be -13 and -7.
c. This one will have unique solution. The number will be -9 and 9. Both are opposites and distance between them is 18
d. There can two solutions, one solution will be -55 and another one is -15
e. There can be one solution only. the solution is 17 and 8.
