Question

Round the factors and estimate the products of 425×9,311

Answer 1

Given:

`425\text{ }\ast\text{ 9311}`

First step is to round the numbers.

425 ==> Here, we have 3 digits, so let's round to the nearest hundred.

425 ==> 400

9,311 ==> We have 4 digits here which means this value is in thousand. Let's round to the nearest thousand.

9,311 ==> 9000

Estimate the product:

`400\text{ }\ast\text{ 9000 = }3,600,000`

ANSWER:

3,600,000
