Integers Class 6 Ex 6.2

Ex 6.2 Class 6 Maths Question 1.
Using the number line write the integer which is:
(a) 3 more than 5
(b) 5 more than -5
(c) 6 less than 2
Solution:
(a) 3 more than 5

Moving right 3 steps from 5, we reach at 8. Hence, 3 more than 5 = 8.

(b) 5 more than -5

Moving right 5 steps from -5 we reach at 0. Hence, 5 more than -5 = 0

(d) 3 less than -2

Moving left 3 steps from -2, we reach at -5.

Ex 6.2 Class 6 Maths Question 2.
Use number line and add the following integers:
(a) 9 + (-6)
(b) 5 + (-11)
(c) (-1) + (-7)

(а) 11 + (-7)
(b) (-13) + (+18)
(c) (-10) + (+19)
(d) (-250) + (+150)
(e) (-380) + (-270)
(f) (-217) + (-100).
Solution:
(a) 11 + (-7) = 4 + (+7) + (-7)
[∵ (+7) + (-7) = 0]
= 4 + 0 = 4
Hence, 11 + (-7) = 4.

(b) (-13) + (+18) = (-13) + (+13) + (+5)
[∵ (-13) + (+13) = 0]
= 0 + (+ 5) = 5
Hence, (- 13) + (+ 18) = 5.

(d) (-250) + (+150) = (-100) + (-150) + (+150)
= (-100) + 0 = -100 [∵(-150) + (+150) = 0]
Hence, (-250) + (+150) = – 100.

(e) (-380) + (-270) = – [380 + 270] = (-650)
Hence, (-380) + (-270) = (-650).

(f) (-217) + (-100) = – [217 + 100] = -317

Ex 6.2 Class 6 Maths Question 4.
Find the sum of:
(a) 137 and -354
(b) -52 and 52 .
(d) -312, 39 and 192
(d) -50, -200 and 300
Solution:
(a) 137 and -354
(137) + ( -354) = (137) + (-137) + (-217) [∵ (137) + (-137) = 0]
= 0 + (-217) = (-217)

(b) -52 and 52
(-52) + (+52) = 0 [ ∵ (-a) + (+ a) = 0]

(c) -312, 39 and 192
(-312) + (+ 39) + (+192)
= (-231) + (- 81) + (+39) + (+192)
= (-231) + (-81) + (+ 231)
= (-231) + (+ 231) + (-81)
[∵ (-a) + (a) = 0]
= 0 + (- 81) = – 81

(d) – 50, -200 and 300
(-50) + (-200) + (+ 300)
= (-50) + (-200) + (+200) + (+100)
= (-50) + 0 + (+100)[∵ (-a) + (+ a) = 0]
= (-50) + (+100)
= (-50) + (+50) + (+ 50)
= 0 + (+ 50) = 50 [ ∵ (-a) + (+ a) = 0]

Ex 6.2 Class 6 Maths Question 5.
Find the sum of:
(a) (- 7) + (-9) + 4 + 16
(b) (37) + (-2) + (-65) + (-18)
Solution:
(a) (- 7) + (-9) + 4 + 16
= (-7) + (-9) + 4 + (+ 7) + (+ 9)
= (-7) + (+7) + (-9) + (+9) + 4
= 0 + 0 + 4 = 4 [∵ (-a) + (a) = 0]

(b) (37) + (-2) + (-65) + (-8)
= (+37) + (-75)
= (+37) + (-37) + (-38)
= 0 + (-38) = (-38) [∵ (-a) + (+a) = 0]

Integers Class 6 Ex 6.3

Ex 6.3 Class 6 Maths Question 1.
Find:
(a) 35 – (20)
(b) 72 – (90)
(c) (-15) – (-18)
(d) (- 20) – (13)
(e) 23 – (-12)
(f) (-32) – (-40)
Solution:
(a) 35 – (20) = 15 + (20) – (20)
= 15 + 0 = 15 [(+a) + (-a) = 0]

(b) 72 – 90
72 – (72 + 18) = 72 – 72 – 18
= 0 – 18 = – 18 [a + (- a) = 0]

(d) (- 20) – (13)
(- 20) – (13) = – [20 + 13] = – 33

(e) 23 – (- 12)
23 – (- 12) = 23 + (additive inverse of – 12)
= 23 + 12 = 35

(f) (- 32) – (- 40)
(- 32) + (additive inverse of – 40)
= (- 32) + 40 = 8

Ex 6.3 Class 6 Maths Question 2.
Fill in the blanks with >, < or = sign.
(a) (-3) + (-6) (-3) – (-6)
(b) (-21) – (-10) (- 31) + (-11)
(c) 45 – (-11) 57 + (-4)
(d) (-25) – (-42) (-42) – (-25)
Solution:
(a) (-3) + (-6) = – [3 + 6] = – 9 and (-3) – (-6) = (-3) + 6 = 3
Here, – 9 < 3
∴ (- 3) + (- 6) < (- 3) – (- 6)

(b) (-21) – (-10) = (-21) + 10 = -11 and (-31) + (-11) = – (31 + 11) = – 42
Here, -42 < -11 or -11 > -42 ∴ (-21) , -(-10) >(-31)+ (-11)

(d) (-25) – (-42) = -25 + 42 = 17
and (-42) – (-25) = -42 + 25 = -17
Here, 17 > -17
∴ (-25) – (-42) > (-42) – (-25).

Ex 6.3 Class 6 Maths Question 3.
Fill in the blanks.
(a) (-8) + …. = 0
(b) 13 + …. = 0
(c) 12 + (-12) = ….
(d) (-4) + …. = – 12
(e) …. -15 = – 10.
Solution:
(a) (-8) + (additive inverse of -8) = 0
= (-8) + (8) = 0
∴ Value of blank is 8

(b) 13 + (additive inverse of 13) = 0
= 13 + (-13) = 0
∴ Value of blank is – 13

(d) (-4) + (-8) = -[4 + 8] = -12
∴ Value of blank is -8.

(e) (+5) – 15 = -10
∴ Value of blank is +5.

Ex 6.3 Class 6 Maths Question 4.
Find :
(a) (-7) – 8 – (-25)
(b) (-13) + 32 – 8 – 1
(c) (-7) + (-8) + (-90)
(d) 50 – (-40) – (-2)
Solution:
(a) (-7) – 8 – (-25)
= (-7) – 8 + 25
[ ∵ Additive inverse of – 25 is 25]
= -7 + 17 = -7 + 7 +10
[∵ (-a) + (+a) = 0]
= 0 + 10 = 10.

(b) (-13) + 32 – 8 – 1
= (-13) + (13) + 19 – (8 + 1)
= 0 + 19 – 9
= 19 – 9 [∵ (-13) + (13) = 0]
= 10 + 9 – 9 = 10 + 0 = 10.
[(+9) – (+9) = 0]

(d) 50 – (-40) – (-2)
= 50 – [- 40 – 2]
= 50 – (-42)
= 50 + 42
= 92.
