28*51*76

To estimate each number by rounding it to the nearest ten, we will look at the unit digit,

If it is less than 5, then we replace it by 0 and keep the ten-digit as it

If it is 5 or more, then we will replace it by 0 and add the ten-digit by 1

Let us do that with every number

28, the unit digit is 8 which is greater than 5, then replace it by 0 and add 2 by 1

28 rounded to 30

51, the unit digit is 1 which is less than 5, then replace it by 0

51 rounded to 50

76, the unit digit is 6 which is greater than 5, then replace it by 0 and add 7 by 1

76 rounded to 80

Now let us multiply them


28*51*76=30*50*80=120,000

The product of the given numbers is 120,000
