Answer 1

To express 2% × 32 × 7 as a whole number, we will first convert the percentage to a decimal and then do the multiplication.

2% as a decimal is 0.02 (since percent means "per hundred", you can divide the percentage by 100 to convert it to a decimal).

Now, multiply 0.02 by 32 and then by 7:

0.02 × 32 = 0.64
Then take 0.64 and multiply it by 7:
0.64 × 7 = 4.48

Since the question asks for the expression as a whole number and 4.48 is not a whole number, it seems there might be a misunderstanding in the interpretation of the problem. If there was an actual mistake and the percentage was not meant to be multiplied by the other numbers, then let's consider the multiplication without the percentage:

32 × 7 = 224

224 is a whole number, but it's not listed in the options provided.

However, if the goal is to actually calculate 2 (as a whole number) times 32 times 7, without considering the percentage, then the calculation would look like this:

2 × 32 × 7 = 64 × 7 = 448

Again, 448 is not among the listed options.

So, assuming there's been an error in the way the question was transmitted to us, none of the results from the calculations above match the responses provided (126, 252, 42, 63).

Let's consider one last scenario, that the percent sign was mistakenly added, and the problem simply is to multiply the whole numbers 2, 32, and 7:

2 × 32 × 7 = 64 × 7 = 448

But since 448 is still not among the options and considering that both 2 and 32 are factors of 64, let's check the options provided using multiplication:

- 126 is not a product of 2 × 32 × 7.
- 252 is not a product of 2 × 32 × 7.
- 42 is not a product of 2 × 32 × 7.
- 63 is not a product of 2 × 32 × 7.

None of the provided responses are the result of multiplying 2 × 32 × 7.

If you intended for the specific operation "2% × 32 × 7" to be calculated as I originally interpreted it, the result is not a whole number and thus is not among the options given. If there's been a miscommunication and the percentage was not meant to be included, please provide further clarification.
