Answer:

Each of

12.9 * 0.9

and

0.62 * 1.5

gives an overestimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us check the value for each of the given products to see which one has a higher value after rounding to the nearest whole number, than its exact value.

11.6 * 9.5

= 110.2

= 110 (rounded)

4.49 * 8.3

= 37.267

= 37 (rounded)

12.9 * 0.9

= 11.61

= 12 (roounded) THIS GIVES AN OVERESTIMATE

0.62 * 1.5

= 0.93

= 1 (rounded) THIS GIVES AN OVERESTIMATE

8.46 * 7.38

= 62.4348

= 62 (rounded)

Therefore, each of

12.9 * 0.9

and

0.62 * 1.5

gives an overestimate.
