(ii) 189
(iii) 3,956
(iv) 57,312
Solution:
(i) 57
Given number = 57
Place value to be rounded off is ten.
Digit in tens place is 5.
Digit to’the right is 7 > 5
Adding 1 to 5 = 1 + 5 = 6
Changing the digits to the right of 6 to zero = 60
rounded off number is 60.

(ii) 189
Place value to be rounded off is ten
Digit is ten places is 8
Digit to the right is 9 > 5
Adding 1 to 8 = 1 + 8 = 9.
changing the digits to the right of 19 to zero = 190
Required rounded off number is 190

(iii) 3956
Place value to be rounded off is ten.
Digit in tens place is 5
Digit to the right is 6 > 5
Adding 1 to 5 = 1 + 5 = 6
Changing the right digits of 396 to zero = 3960
Required rounded off number is 3960.

(iv) 57312
Place value to be rounded off is ten.
Digit in tens place is 1
Digit to the right is 2 < 5
Leaving the number 2 as it is changing the digits to the right of 5731 to zero = 57310.
The rounded number is 57310

Question 1.
Find the value of 6 + 3 + 8 and 3 + 6 + 8
(i) Are the same?
(ii) Is there any other way of arranging these three numbers?
Solution:
6 + 3 + 8 = 3 + 6 + 8 = 17
(i) Yes, 6 + 3 + 8 = 3 + 6 + 8 = 17, Both are same
(ii) Yes, we can arrange these numbers as
3 + 8 + 6 = 8 + 6 + 3 = 8 + 3 + 6 = 6 + 8 + 3

Question 2.
Find the value of 5 × 2 × 6 and 2 × 5 × 6
(i) Are the same?
(ii) Is there any other way of arranging these three numbers?
Solution:
5 × 2 × 6 = 2 × 5 × 6 = 60
(i) Yes, they are the same
(ii) They can be arranged as
2 × 6 × 5 = 6 × 5 × 2 = 5 × 6 × 2 = 6 × 2 × 5.

Question 3.
Is 7 – 5 the same as 5 – 7? Why?
Solution:
7 – 5 ≠ 5 – 7.
Because subtraction is not commutative [∵ 7 – 5 = 2; 5 – 7 = -2]

Question 4.
What is the value of (15 – 8) – 6? Is it the same as 15 – (8 – 6)? Why?
Solution:
(15 – 8) – 6 = 7 – 6 = 1
(15 – 8) – 6 = 1
It is not same as 15 – (8 – 6).
15 – (8 – 6) = 15 – 2 = 13
(15 – 8) – 6 ≠ 15 – (8 – 6)

Question 5.
What is 15 ÷ 5? Is it the same as 5 ÷ 15? Why?
Solution:
(i) 15 ÷ 5 = 3
(ii) 15 ÷ 5 ≠ 5 ÷ 15
(iii) Division is not commutative for whole numbers.

Question 6.
What is the value of (100 ÷ 10) ÷ 5? Is it the same as 100 ÷ (10 ÷ 5)? Why?
Solution:
(i) (100 ÷ 10) ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
(ii) 100 ÷ (10 ÷ 5) ≠ (100 ÷ 10) ÷ 5
(iii) Because division of whole numbers are not associative.
Also 100 ÷ (10 ÷ 5) = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
But (100 ÷ 10) ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5 = 2 = 50 ≠ 2
(i. e) (100 ÷ 10) ÷ 5 ≠ 100 ÷ (10 ÷ 5)

Question 1.
Use at least three different pairs of whole numbers to verify that subtraction is not commutative
Solution:
(a) 7 and 20
20 – 7 ≠ 7 – 20
(b) 300 and 100
300 – 100 ≠ 100 – 300
(c) 60 and 5
60 – 5 ≠ 5 – 60

Question 2.
Is 10 ÷ 5 the same as 5 ÷ 10? Justify it by taking two more combinations of numbers
Solution:
10 ÷ 5 ≠ 5 ÷ 10
Example:
(a) 20 ÷ 10 ≠ 10 ÷ 20 i.e. 2 ≠ $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
(b) 100 ÷ 50 ≠ 50 ÷ 100 i.e. 2 ≠ $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
