How many whole numbers are between $437$ and $487?$
AnswerThe whole numbers between $437$ and $487$ are $438, 439, 440, 441, … , 484, 485$ and $486.$ To find the required number of whole numbers,
We need to subtract $437$ from $487$ and then subtract again $1$ from the result.
Thus, there are $(487 - 437) - 1$ whole numbers between $437$ and $487.$
Now, $(487 - 437) - 1$
$= 50 - 1 = 49$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

The additive identity of any rational number is _____.
AnswerThe additive identity property says that if you add a real number to zero or add zero to a real number, then you get the same real number back.
The number zero is known as the identity element.
Then zero $(0)$ is the additive identity of a real number and all rational numbers are real.
Hence, $0$ is the additive identity of rational numbers.

What least number should be subtracted from $10004$ to get a number exactly divisible by $12?$
AnswerHere we have to tell what least number should be subtracted from $10004$ to get a number exactly divisible by $12.$
So, we will first divide $10004$ by $12.$

Remainder $= 8$
So, $8$ should be subtracted from $10004$ to get the number exactly divisible by $12.$
i.e., $10004 - 8 = 9996$

Hence, $9996$ is exactly divisible by $12.$

Which is equal to $(4 \times 8) + (4 \times 60)?$
- ✓
$4 \times (60 + 8)$
- B
$8 \times (60 + 4)$
- C
$12 \times (60 + 4)$
- D
$16 \times (60 + 8)$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $4 \times (60 + 8)$
The distributive property of multiplication states that a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, when the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately, then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum.
So $(4 \times 8) + (4 \times 60) = 4 \times (8 + 60)$
