FIND THE PRODUCT BY SUITABLE REARRANGEMENT

Without doing direct multiplication, this method will be helpful and increase the speed of completing the problem.

Like complements of number, in product also we have some thing. We have listed out something.

50 x 2 = 100, 25 x 4 = 100

125 x 4 = 500, 125 x 2 = 250

625 x 8 = 1000, 250 x 4 = 1000

Like this we have many more.

When we have more than 2 terms in the given expression, let us try to understand whether we have any relationships in between the numbers. This may reduce our work and increase the speed.

Problem 1 :

Find :

25 × 8358 × 4

Solution :

25 × 8358 × 4

Here by multiplying 25 and 4, we will get 100.

= (25 x 4) x 8358

= 100 x 8358

= 835800

Problem 2 :

625 × 3759 × 8

Solution :

625 × 3759 × 8

Here by multiplying 625 and 8, we will get 1000.

= (625 x 8) x 3759

= 1000 x 3759

= 3759000

Problem 3 :

Find the product by suitable rearrangement:

 2 × 1768 × 50

Solution :

 2 × 1768 × 50

Here by multiplying 2 and 50, we will get 100.

= (2 x 50) x 1768

= 100 x 1768

= 176800

Problem 4 :

4 × 166 × 25

Solution :

= 4 × 166 × 25

Here by multiplying 4 and 25, we will get 100

= (4 x 25) x 166

= 100 x 166

= 16600

Problem 5 :

8 × 291 × 125

Solution :

8 × 291 × 125

By multiplying 8 and 125, we will get 1000.

= (8 x 125) x 291

= 1000 x 291

= 291000

Problem 6 :

625 × 279 × 16

Solution :

625 × 279 × 16

Here by multiplying 625 and 16, we will get 10000

= 10000 x 279

= 2790000

Problem 7 :

285 × 5 × 60

Solution :

285 × 5 × 60

Here by multiplying 5 and 60, we will get 300.

= 285 x (5 x 60)

= 285 x 300

= 85500

Problem 8 :

125 × 40 × 8 × 25

Solution :

125 × 40 × 8 × 25

By multiplying 125 and 8, we will get 1000.

By multiplying 4 and 25, we will get 100.

= (125 x 8) × (40 × 25)

= 1000 x 100

= 100000

Find the product by suitable rearrangement:

Problem 9 :

A box contains 5 strips having 12 capsules of 500 mg medicine in each capsule. Find the weight in grams of medicine in 32 such boxes.

Solution :

Number of strips = 5

Number of capsules in each strip = 12

Quantity of medicine in each capsule = 500 mg

Number of boxes of medicine available = 32

Total weight of medicine

= number of strips x number of capsule in each x quantity of medicine in each capsule x 32

= 5 x 12 x 500 x 32

= 60 x 500 x 32

= 30000 x 32

= 960000

1 gram = 1000 mg

= 960000 / 1000

= 960 grams

So, 960 grans.

Problem 10 :

Bricks are arranged in 27 heaps in work site for construction. Each heap have 28 bricks. If 8 bricks are taken from each heap for construction, how many bricks are left?

Solution :

Number of heaps in work site = 27

Number of bricks in each heap = 28

Number of bricks required = 27 x 28

= 27 x (20 + 8)

= 27 x 20 + 8 x 27

= 540 + 216

= 756

Number of bricks taken = 8

Number of bricks left over = 756-8

= 748 bricks

Problem 11 :

Find the product by suitable rearrangement:

2 x 1768 x 50

Solution :

2 x 1768 x 50

Here we know that multiplying 2 and 50, we will get 100.

= 2 x 50 x 1768

= 100 x 1768

= 176800

Problem 12 :

Multiply by suitable arrangement: 250 , 8, 4, 7

Solution :

= 250 x 8 x 4 x 7

Here by multiplying 250 and 4, we will get 100

= (250 x 4) x (8 x 7)

= 1000 x 56

= 56000

Problem 13 :

The number of students in each class of a school is 25. The fees paid by each student are $928 per month. If there are 20 classes in a school. What is the total fee collection in a month? 

Solution :

Number of students in each class = 25

Amount paid by each student = $928

Number of classes = 20

Total fee collected = 25 x 928 x 20

= (25 x 20) x 928

= 500 x 928

= 5 x 928 x 100

= 4640 x 100

= 464000
