Exercise 60 Page 152

We want to simplify the given product without using a calculator. We can recall that multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition. Multiplying two numbers is equivalent to adding as many copies of one of the numbers, called the multiplicand, as many times as indicated by the other number, called the multiplier. The result is called the product.

We want to simplify the given product without using a calculator. In this case, multiplying two negative numbers corresponds to removing groups of negatives. First, we can recall that the product of two numbers is a positive number. Next, we can consider that multiplying two numbers is equivalent to adding as many copies of one of the numbers, called the multiplicand, as many times as indicated by the other number, called the multiplier. The result is called the product.

We want to simplify the given product without using a calculator. We know from the Zero Property of Multiplication that $0$ multiplied by any number will be $0.$ We can consider a number $a$ multiplied by zero.

We want to simplify the given quotient without using a calculator. We can recall that division is the opposite of multiplication. This operation represents the process of calculating how many times one quantity, called the divisor, is contained within another quantity, called the dividend. The result is called the quotient of the division.
