Question

Round the following numbers to the nearest tens and estimate the product

Answer 1

We are to round the numbers to nearest tens and estimate the product.

`37.89\cdot41`

Let us roung up the numbers to the nearest tens first.

`\begin{gathered} 37.89\approx40(nearest\text{ tens)} \\ 41\approx40(nearest\text{ tens)} \end{gathered}`

Let us now find the product of the numbers

`\begin{gathered} 40\cdot40=40*40=1600 \\ 40\cdot40=1600 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is

`40\cdot40=1600`
