Answer:
Estimate is 150 and actual product is 138.
Explanation:
To estimate products, we round the numbers to nearest unit place, 10th, 100th, 1000th, and so on.
Given are the numbers 3 and 46.
We can round 46 ≈ 50.
So Estimation would be 3 x 46 ≈ 3 x 50
3 times 5 is 15 and we can add zeros after it.
So estimation is 3 x 46 ≈ 150.
Now actual product would be...
3 times 6 is 18, so we note down 8 and 1 goes to carry over 4.
3 times 4 is 12 and carry 1 will be added in it, so 12 + 1 = 13.
It means the actual product is 3 x 48 = 138.
