Question

Use the digits 1,3,4,and 7 to create two whole numbers whose product is estimated to be about 600

Answer 1

34 x 17 (round the 2 numbers)
30 x 20
600

Also, 34 x 17 = 578, which rounds to 600


The answer is 34 and 17

Answer 2

Answer: 34 and 17 are two numbers created from the given digits whose product is estimated to be about 600.

Explanation:

Let 34 and 17 are two whole numbers created from the given digits.

Case 1) If we multiply 34 and 17 then 34×17=578 if we rounding up to the nearest hundreds we will get 600.

Case 2) If we rounding up the whole numbers before multiplication as

estimate of 34 to the nearest ten is 30 and 17 to the nearest ten is 20

Then the product becomes 30×20=600.

So by both the ways 34 and 17 can be used for estimated product to be 600.
