Estimate.Then find the product


Please show work and estimate

Answer 1

556 is close to 600 and just keep 4.

600 x 4 is 2400 so the answer is close to 2400

556x4=?

6x4=24

50x4=200

500x4=2000

so 2000+200+24=2224

estimate 2224 to the nearest thousand 2000

estimate 2224 to the nearest hundred 2200

estimate 2224 to the nearest ten 2220

Hope it helps even though its a little confusing!

Answer 2

Estimate that 500 x 4 = 2,000
+ 50 x 4 = 200
+ 6 x 4= 24
so you can estimate somewhere between 2,000-2,224

To multiply:
Start with 6 x 4 which equals 24.
You can only put the last letter in the answer and carry the two over the second 5.
Next comes 5 x 4 + the 2 you carried, so 22.
Write down a two in the answer and carry the next two.
5 x 4 + 2 again is 22, this time, since there are no numbers left to carry the 2 over to, you're left with 2,224.
