To round 2,110,000 to the nearest million, observe that the digit in the hundred-thousands place is 1. Since this digit is less than 5, we do not add 1 to the digit in the millions place. Therefore, $2,110,000 rounded to the nearest million is $2,000,000. 36. To round 14,616,000,000 to the nearest ten- million, observe that the digit in the millions place is 6. Since this digit is at least 5, we add 1 to the digit in the ten-millions place. Therefore, 14,616,000,000 bushels rounded to the nearest ten-million is 14,620,000,000 bushels. 38. 52 rounds to 50 33 rounds to 30 15 rounds to 20 29 rounds to + 30 130 + 40. 555 rounds to 560 235 rounds to 240 320 − − 42. 4050 rounds to 4100 3133 rounds to 3100 1220 rounds to 1200 8400 + + 44. 1989 rounds to 2000 1870 rounds to 1900 100 − − 46. 799 rounds to 800 1655 rounds to 1700 271 rounds to + 300 2800 + 48. 522 + 785 is approximately 520 + 790 = 1310.

The product of 0 and any number is 0. 2. The product of 1 and any number is the number. 3. In 8 ⋅ 12 = 96, the 96 is called the product and 8 and 12 are each called a factor. 4. Since 9 ⋅ 10 = 10 ⋅ 9, we say that changing the order in multiplication does not change the product. This property is called the commutative property of multiplication.

    ISM: Algebra Foundations Chapter 1: The Whole Numbers 11 5. Since (3 ⋅ 4) ⋅ 6 = 3 ⋅ (4 ⋅ 6), we say that changing the grouping in multiplication does not change the product. This property is called the associative property of multiplication. 6. Area measures the amount of surface of a region. 7. Area of a rectangle = length ⋅ width. 8. We know 9(10 + 8) = 9 ⋅ 10 + 9 ⋅ 8 by the distributive property. 9. distributive 10. To show that 8649 is actually multiplied by 70 and not by just 7. 11. Area is measured in square units, and here we have meters by meters, or square meters; the answer is 63 square meters, or the correct units are square meters. 12.
