Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The numbers to be multiplied are20.23 and8.5. We are to estimate the product by rounding the numbers to make the arithmetic easier3. We will then compare our estimate with the actual product
STEP 2
First, let's round the numbers to the nearest whole number to make the multiplication easier.
STEP 3
Now, let's multiply the rounded numbers to estimate the product.
STEP 4
Calculate the estimated product.
STEP 5
Now, let's calculate the actual product using a calculator.
STEP 6
Calculate the actual product.
STEP 7
Finally, let's compare the estimated product with the actual product.The estimated product is180 and the actual product is approximately172. The estimate is reasonable as it is close to the actual product.
