Question 1

The result of multiplying the multiplicand by the multiplier is called the product.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The result of a multiplication calculation is called the product.

Question 2

The number removed from the minuend is called the subtrahend.

Accepted Answer

This is correct. The subtrahend is the number that is subtracted from the minuend in a subtraction problem.

Question 3

Subtraction means to take away. It is the addition of one number of things from another number of things.

Accepted Answer

Subtraction is the operation of taking one quantity away from another, not the addition of one number to another.

Question 4

The amount left over, or remaining after a subtraction problem is completed, is called the difference.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true.

Question 5

The common method of checking addition is to add the individual columns in reverse order.

Accepted Answer

This is known as the "carry over" method, where the sum of each column is added from right to left, carrying any digits over when the sum is greater than 9. This is the most commonly taught method for checking addition.

Question 6

The original number, before subtraction or before anything is removed, is called the subtrahend.

Accepted Answer

The subtrahend is the number that is subtracted from another number, not the original number before subtraction.

Question 7

The accepted and common method of checking the accuracy of a multiplication product is to invert, or switch, the multiplicand and the multiplier and work the problem from a reverse position.

Accepted Answer

This method is commonly known as "checking by division" and involves dividing the product by one of the original factors to ensure the other factor is correct. Switching the order of the factors and multiplying again is also a valid way to check the product.

Question 8

Neatness is not important in math.

Accepted Answer

Neatness is important in math as it helps to avoid errors and confusion. It makes it easier to follow the steps and understand the solution. It is important to write clearly and label all variables, numbers, and symbols properly to avoid mistakes.

Question 9

Multiplier times Multiplier equals Product.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Multiplier times Multiplier equals Product....

Question 10

The common way of checking a subtraction answer is to add the subtrahend and the difference.

Accepted Answer

This is known as the "check by adding" method, and it works because subtraction is the reverse of addition, so adding the subtrahend and the difference should equal the minuend.

Question 11

Addend plus Addend equals Sum.

Accepted Answer

This is the fundamental equation for addition, where two addends are added together to give a sum.

Question 12

In an addition problem, once all of the subproducts are determined, they are added together to obtain the final total or product.

Accepted Answer

In an addition problem, the result of adding all the numbers together is called the sum, not the product. The term "product" is used specifically for the result of a multiplication problem.

Question 13

Subtrahend minus Minuend equals Difference.

Accepted Answer

The correct statement is "Minuend minus Subtrahend equals Difference".

Question 14

In multiplication, a whole number is added to itself a specified amount of times.

Accepted Answer

Multiplication is the repeated addition of the same number a specified amount of times.

Question 15

Division is basically the method of finding out how many times one number is added to another number.

Accepted Answer

Division is the process of determining how many times one number is contained within another number, not how many times it is added to another number.

Question 16

Addition is the act of combining things or units that are alike to obtain a total quantity.

Accepted Answer

Addition involves bringing together items that are similar in nature and adding them up to find their total value.

Question 17

Multiplier times Multiplicand equals Product.

Accepted Answer

This is the basic multiplication formula where the product is obtained by multiplying the multiplier with the multiplicand.

Question 18

Addend plus Addend equals Difference.

Accepted Answer

Addend plus addend equals sum, not difference.

Question 19

Multiplication is another math operation where a decrease takes place.

Accepted Answer

Multiplication is not an operation where a decrease takes place. It is an operation that results in a product, which can be bigger than the original numbers being multiplied.

Question 20

The number representing the amount of times the minuend is to be added to itself is called the multiplier.

Accepted Answer

The number representing the amount of times the minuend is to be added to itself is actually called the multiplicand in multiplication. The minuend is a term used in subtraction, referring to the number from which another number (the subtrahend) is to be subtracted.
