Question

What digit is in the

Answer 1

Given the numbers 898 and 169, we are asked to extimate the product by rounding up to the nearest 100.

In order to estimate products, we round the given numbers to the required place value. Estimating products help us to check the reasonableness of an answer. To estimate the product, we first round off the multiplier and the multiplicand to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then multiply the rounded numbers.

Therefore, we must round 898 and 169 to the nearest hundred. But numbers would be rounded up

`\begin{gathered} 898\rightarrow900 \\ 169\rightarrow200 \end{gathered}`

We can then proceed to multiply the rounded numbers.

Thus;

`900*200=180000`

Answer: The estimated product is 180000
