Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Ex 2.3
Exercise 2.3
Question 1.
Question 2.
If the product of two whole numbers is zero, can we say that one or both of them will be zero? Justify through examples.
Solution:
Yes, Examples:
5 x 0 = 0
0 x 8 = 0
0 x 0 = 0
Question 3.
If the product of two whole numbers is 1, can we say that one or both of them will be 1? Justify through examples.
Solution:
This is only true, when each of the number are 1.
1 x 1 = 1
Question 4.
Find using distributive property:
(а) 728 x 101
(b) 5437 x 1001
(c) 824 x 25
(d) 4275 x 125
(e) 504 x 35
Solution:
(a) 728 x 101 = 728 x (100 + 1)
= 728 x 100 + 728 x 1
= 72800 + 728
= 73528
(b) 5437 x 1001 = 5437 x (1000 + 1)
= 5437 x 1000 + 5437 x 1
= 5437000 + 5437
= 5442437
(c) 824 x 25 = 824 x (20 + 5)
= 824 x 20 + 824 x 5
= 16480 + 4120
= 20600
(d) 4275 x 125 = 4275 x (100 + 20 + 5)
= 4275 x 100 + 4275 x 20 + 4275 x 5
= 427500 + 85500 + 21375
= 534375
(e) 504 x 35 = (500 + 4) x 35
= 500 x 35 + 4 x 35
= 17500 + 140
= 17640
Question 5.
Study the pattern:
1 x 8 + 1= 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
Write the next two steps. Can you say how the pattern works?
Solution:
Step I: 123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
Step II: 1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
Working pattern:
(1) x 8 + 1 = 9
(12) x 8 + 2 = (11 + 1) x 8 + 2 = 98
(123) x 8 + 3 = (111 + 11 + 1) x 8 + 3 = 987
(1234) x 8 + 4 = (1111 + 111 + 11 + 1) x 8 + 4 = 9876
(12345) x 8 + 5 = (11111 + 1111 + 111 + 11 + 1) x 8 + 5 = 98765
