Question 4.
Use the properties of whole numbers and simplify.
(i) 50 × 102
(ii) 500 × 689 – 500 × 89
(iii) 4 × 132 × 25
(iv) 196 + 34 + 104
Solution:
(i) 50 × 102
= 50 × (100 + 2)
= (50 × 100) + (50 × 2)
= 5000 + 100 = 5100

(ii) 500 × 689 – 500 × 89
= 500 × (689 – 89)
= 344500 – 44500
= 300000
= 500 × (689 – 89)
= 500 × 600
= 3,00000

(iii) (4 × 132) × 25
= 4 × (132 × 25)
= (4 × 132) × 25
= 528 × 25
= 13200
= 4 × (132 × 25)
= 4 × 3300
= 13200

(iv) (196 + 34) + 104 = 196 + (34 + 104)
(196 + 34) + 104 = 230 + 104 = 334
196 + (34 + 104) = 196 + 138 = 334
