Question

Match each multiplication expression on the left with the best estimate of its product on the right.

Options:
1. 27x41
2. 14x56
3. 39x28
a. 1000
b. 1500
c. 1100

Answer 1

To estimate the product of the multiplication expressions, round the numbers to the nearest tens or hundreds and then multiply.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate the product of the multiplication expressions, we can round the numbers to the nearest tens or hundreds and then multiply.

1. 27x41 ≈ 30x40 = 1200 (Option a)

2. 14x56 ≈ 10x60 = 600 (Option a)

3. 39x28 ≈ 40x30 = 1200 (Option a)

So the best estimate of the product for the given multiplication expressions is option a, which is 1000.
