Question

There are 1,356 students in total and each student is given 2 gloves. How many gloves are required?

• A. 2,545
• B. 2,356
• C. 2,712
• D. 2,824

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2,712

Number of students = 1,356
Number of gloves for each student = 2

∴ Number of gloves required for 1,356 students = 1,356 $\times$ 2

Let us split 1,356 in the respective place values as: 1356 = 1000 + 300 + 50 + 6


Now, we multiply each value by 2.


After adding the values, we get 2,712 as the product.

Hence, 2,712 gloves are required altogether.
