- Recognize the pattern where each result increases by 120 to help and remember the sequence of the numbers.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them in 120 times table
Mentioned here are the common mistakes that one can commit while learning the table of 120. You can avoid them by making a note of the below;
Mistake 1
Committing incorrect doubling of the numbers
One may mistakenly calculate 120×2 = 220 instead of 240. Make sure to not rush through the calculations and cross-check.
120 Times Table Examples
Problem 1
The production unit of a factory generates an output of 120 units each day. The production rate increases by 25% on Saturday and Sunday. Find the total number of units produced on Saturday and Sunday.
First, we find the 25% of 120
I.e., 120×25/100 = 30
So on Saturday and Sunday 120+30 units are produced, i.e., 150 units.
In one weekend, 150×2 = 300 units are produced.
Explanation
150 units are produced in a single day over the weekend so 300 units are produced in total.
Problem 2
Calculate 120×5 using distributive property.
120×5 = 120(3+2)
= (120×3)+(120×2)
= 360+240
=600
Explanation
the distributive property breaks the multiplicand, 5 into 2 and 3 to simplify the multiplication.
Problem 3
6(2x-10)=720, find x.
To solve for x, we first divide both LHS and RHS by 6;
2x-10 = 720/6 = 120
Now we solve for 2x;
2x= 120+10 = 130
Now x;
x= 130/2 = 65
Explanation
By dividing and isolating x, we simplify the given equation.
Problem 4
There are three consecutive multiples of 120 whose sum is 1080. Find the numbers.
Let the three consecutive multiples be; 120n, 120(n+1), 120(n+2).
120n+120(n+1)+120(n+2) = 1080
Simplify the above;
120n+120n+120+120n+240 = 1080
360n+360 = 1080
Now we subtract 360 from both LHS and RHS;
360n=720
n= 720/360
n=2
120n → 120×2 = 240
120(n+1) → 120(2+1) = 120×3 = 360
120(n+2) → 120(2+2) = 120×4 = 480
Verify the same;
240+360+480 =1080
Explanation
The three consecutive multiples are 240,360 and 480, and we find the same as explained above.
