In the previous post, we have learned the rules in multiplying integers.  Below is a 10-item practice test on multiplying integers. Note that in multiplication, we can use the x and () symbols in multiplying two numbers. This means that 3 x 4 is the same as 3 (4) and (3)(4). We will use both symbols in the practice test below to familiarize yourselves with them.  Any of the two symbols can be used in the Civil Service exams.

Practice Test on Multiplying Integers

1. -4 x -8

2. 3 x -7

3. -12 x -7

4.  -8 x -1 x -4

5. (3 x 4)(-5)

6. 4 x -3 x -2

7. -7 x -2 x 3

8. (-8)(-3)(2)

9. (-6)(-7)(-2)

10. (2)(-3)(5)(-2)

In the next post, I am going to post the solution and the answers to the practice test above.
