a. associative b. identity c. commutative d. distributive
Discuss/ Differentiate the properties of multiplication
zero property - Ex. 9 x 0 = 0
identity - Ex. 6 x 1 = 6
commutative property - Ex. 5 x 9 = 9 x 5
associative property - Ex. 5 x (1 x 2) = (5 x 1) x 2
distributive property - Ex. 3 x 4 3 x 1 = 3 (4 - 1)

2. The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 98. Find the two numbers. (Numbers Problem)
a. 46 & 52 b. 48 & 50 c. 44 & 54 d. 42 & 56
Let x = first even number ; y = x + 2 = second even number;
x + y = 98 ; subst. y = x +2 ;
x + (x + 2) = 98 ; 2x = 96 ; x = 48 ; y = 48 + 2 = 50

Note: We can get the answer to this problem without solving. The question says two consecutive
even numbers, so by elimination, only b. has consecutive even nos.

The significant figures of a number are those digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision.
Identifying significant figures
- All non-zero digits are considered significant.
For example, 91 has two significant figures (9 and 1), while 123.45 has five significant figures
- Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant.
Example: 101.1203 has seven significant figures.
- Leading zeros are not significant.
Example, 0.00052 has two significant figures:.
- Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant.
Example, 12.2300 has six significant figures:
- For scientific notation, placeholder leading and trailing digits do not occur.
Example, 0.00012 (two significant figures) becomes 1.2104, and 0.00122300 (six significant
figures) becomes 1.22300103.
