2.1 Whole Numbers
Question 1: What is the product of 42 and 19?
A. 598
B. 798
C. 898
D. 698
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Multiply 42 by 19: 42 × 19 = 42 × (20 − 1) = (42 × 20) − (42 ×
1) = 840 − 42 = 798. Alternatively, use standard multiplication: 42 × 9 = 378,
42 × 10 = 420, 420 + 378 = 798.
Question 2: What is the quotient of 528 divided by 12?
A. 42
B. 44
C. 46
D. 48
Correct Answer: B
1
, Explanation: Divide 528 by 12: 528 ÷ 12 = 44, since 12 × 44 = 528. Verify:
12 × 44 = 480 + 48 = 528.
Question 3: What is the sum of 345 and 278?
A. 613
B. 623
C. 633
D. 643
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Add 345 and 278: 345 + 278 = (300 + 200) + (40 + 70) + (5 + 8) =
500 + 110 + 13 = 623.
Question 4: What is 763 minus 419?
A. 344
B. 354
C. 364
D. 374
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Subtract 419 from 763: 763−419 = (763−400)−19 = 363−19 = 344.
Alternatively, align vertically and borrow as needed to confirm: 763 − 419 = 344.
Question 5: What is the result of 152 ?
A. 205
B. 215
C. 225
D. 235
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Calculate 152 = 15 × 15 = 225. Verify by breaking down: 15 × 10 =
150, 15 × 5 = 75, 150 + 75 = 225.
Question 6: How many times does 7 go into 392?
A. 54
B. 55
C. 56
D. 57
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Divide 392 by 7: 392÷7 = 56, since 7×56 = 392. Verify: 7×50 = 350,
7 × 6 = 42, 350 + 42 = 392.
Question 7: What is the value of 9 × 13 + 5?
A. 117
B. 122
C. 127
D. 132
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Follow order of operations: First, 9 × 13 = 117, then 117 + 5 = 122.
Question 8: What is the remainder when 543 is divided by 8?
A. 5
