Question

Estimate 444•69 by first rounding each number so that it has only 1 nonzero digit

Answer 1

28,000

Explanation:

The reason for this is because you are only allowed to have one nonzero digit in each number so you would round 444 to 400 because 4 in the tens place is not greater than 5 so, it tells the hundreds place to stay a 4 and all other numbers turn to zeros. The 69 rounds to 70 because 9 is greater than five telling the 6 to round up making it a 7 and all other numbers are supposed to turn to zeros

Answer 2

28,000 is your answer.

Explanation:

What you do is make 444 to 400 because it is below 50.

69 you will make 70 because it is one away from 70.

400 x 70 = 28,000 as your answer.
