Answer:

Given expression,

23.725 × 6.25

Since, it is quite tough to find the product of the above problem directly or without estimation,

Now,

23.725 ≈ 24,

6.25 ≈ 6

⇒ 23.725 × 6.25 ≈ 24 × 6 = 144

Hence, 23.725 ×6.25 ≈ 144

Reason of estimation :

Since, after rounding the numbers we get the integers which are easy to multiply in compare to multiply the given decimal numbers.
