Question

If twice a number is less than the number, the number must be a) negative b) even c) 0.5 d) a square

Answer 1

Answer: a) negative

Explanation:

-100x2=-200

-200 is negative.

Answer 2

a) negative

Explanation:

When you multiply a given negative number by a positive number, the result becomes smaller than the original.

For instance let
`-100` be the original number.

Multiply by 2.

The result is -200

We know
`-200\:<\:-100`

The correct answer is A.
