Answer:

Explanation:

First you must round 54 and 41. Now you have 50×40. It would be easier to take of the 2 zeros at the end and and them on later. Now we have 5×4. This =20. Now we add the 2 zeros we took away and get 2,000. Hope that helps!

Answer: 2,000

Step-by-step explanation: To estimate the product of 54 × 41, first round each number so that each number contains only one non-zero digit.

So in this case, we will round 54 to the nearest ten and we also round 41 to the nearest 10.

To round 54 to the nearest 10, since the digit to the right of the rounding place is 4, we round down. So 54 rounds down to 50.

To round 41 to the nearest 10, the digit to the right of the rounding place, 4, tells us to round down so 41 rounds down to 40.

Now we have 50 × 40.

If we multiply these two numbers together, we get a product of 2,000.

Therefore, 54 × 41 is approximately equal to 2,000.
