Question

Is 2750 a reasonable answer for 917 * 33 explained

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

To make this simpler, we will round each number. 917 rounds to 900 and 33 rounds to 30. 900 * 30 = 27,000. We can do this in our head because 9 * 3 = 27, and there are three zeros total between 900 and 30, so we add three zeros after 27. 2750 is not a reasonable answer because the true answer is about 10 times greater than 2750.
