# Worksheet on use of Integers as Directed Numbers

Practice the questions given in the worksheet on use of integers as directed numbers. We know, when numbers represent direction, the numbers are called directed numbers.

1. If +100 represent a gain of $100; what does each of the following represent: (i) -18 (ii) +25 (iii) +39 (iv) -52 2. If a rise in temperature by 30° C is represented by +30; what does each of the following represent: (i) +50 (ii) 0 (iii) -42 (iv) -29 3. If moving of 16 m due West is given by +16; what is given by: (i) 72 (ii) -13 (iii) 50 (iv) -27 4. A speed of 3 m/s towards North is represented by +3; what is represented by: (i) +7 (ii) -5 (iii) -9 (iv) +12 5. Walking 50 km towards South is denoted by -50; what is denoted by: (i) +10 (ii) -25 (iii) -60 (iv) +35 6. 25 m below the earth’s surface is given by -25; state, what is given by: (i) -3 (ii) +10 (iii) +35 (iv) -15 7. If giving of$ 200 is denoted by +200;

(i) Giving of $31 will be denoted by __________ (ii) Taking of$ 81 will be denoted by __________

8. A person walks 80 m due North and then 63 m due South. Find his position with respect to his starting point.

9. The temperature of a body first rises by 20° C and then falls by 27° C. Find the final temperature of the body, if it’s initial temperature is;

(i) -42° C

(ii) 0° C

(iii) 33° C

10. The temperature of a body first falls by 19° C and then rises by 38° C. Find the final temperature of the body, if it’s initial temperature was;

(i) -65° C

(ii) - 19° C

(iii) 7° C
