Solved Examples on Properties of Whole Numbers
1. Fill in the following blanks with suitable answers.
i. 120 × (273 + 40) = _____ + (120 × 40)
ii. 89 × 12 = 12 × (80 + ____ )

b) i. 273 x 273, ii. 9, iii. 4
c) i. 120 x 120, ii. 9, iii. 4
d) i. 150 x 273, ii. 9, iii. 4
Answer: a) i. 120 x 273, ii. 9, iii. 4
Explanation: i. 120 × (273 + 40) = 120 x 273 + ( 120 × 40 )
ii. 89 × 12 = 12 × (80 + 9)
iii. 60 × 204 = (60 × 200) + (60 × 4)
2. Solve 14 × (3 + 7) using the distributive property.
a) 100
b) 120
c) 130
d) 140
Answer: d) 140
Explanation: The distributive property of multiplication over the
addition of whole numbers is: a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
So, 14 × (3 + 7) = (14 × 3) + (14 × 7)
= 42 + 98
= 140
Hence, the value of 14 × (3 + 7) is 140.
3. Jacqueline distributes 32 boxes of sweets on her birthday in her
class. Each box comprises 10 candies and 2 small chocolate balls.
Calculate the number of sweets in the 32 boxes.
a) 300
b) 328
c) 362
d) 384
Answer: d) 384
Explanation: Number of boxes of sweets: 32
Number of candies in each box = 10
Number of small chocolate balls in each box = 2
Total number of sweets : 32 × ( 10 + 2 ) = (32 × 10) + (32 × 2) = 320
+ 64 = 384
4. What property can be applied to the following expression? (8 +
4) + 11 = 8 + (4 + 11)
a) Associative property
b) Closure property
c) Commutative property
d) Distributive property
Answer: a) Associative property
Explanation: The rule for Associative Property of Addition is (a +
b) + c = a + (b + c)
Expression given in the question is: (8 + 4) + 11 = 8 + (4 + 11)
Hence, the property is associative property.
5. Find the following product using the distributive property of
whole numbers: 82 × 45
a) 3200
b) 3408
c) 3690
d) 3720
Answer: c) 3690
Explanation: By using the distributive property, we can write the
given product as follows: 82 × 45 = (80 + 2) × (40 + 5)
= 80 × 40 + 80 × 5 + 2 × 40 + 2 × 5
= 3200 + 400 + 80 + 10
= 3690
Therefore, 82 × 45 = 3690.
