What is another name for the multiples of 2?
At the end of each chapter, a checklist is provided that lists the key skills and knowledge that have been covered. Use it to identify what you have mastered and what you may still need to work on. By checking off each skill, you will be putting yourself 4 in the best position to tackle your exam. List the first six multiples of 11.
Answers You will find answers to all the questions in the tear out section at the back of the book. If you are working on your 5 List all the multiples of 20 that are less than 150. own you can check your answers yourself.
