QUESTION 4 :-
Can you multiply 993 by 879 mentally?
It is remarkable that any two numbers of two figures each, where the tens are the same, and the sum of the units digits make 10, can always be multiplied mentally thus: 97 x 93 = 9,021. Multiply the 7 by 3 and set it down, then add 1 to the 9 and multiply by the other 9, 9 x 10 = 90.
This is very useful for squaring any number ending in 5, as 85² = 7,225. With two fractions, when we have the whole numbers the same and the sum of the fractions equal unity, we get an easy rule for multiplying them. Take 7¼ x 7¾ = 56 3/16. Multiply the fractions = 3/16, add 1 to one of the 7s, and multiply by the other, 7 x 8 = 56.
