Question

Sheila multiplier 62.5 by 4.08. What should have been her answer if she quickly rounded the numbers before multiplying?

Answer 1

63 and 4.10

Explanation:

you just round them

Answer 2

The answer would be 252. Here’s why:

You always round up when it’s five (half) or above. 4 or Lower will round it down. In our question here, 62.5 would be rounded up, and 4.08 will be rounded down. This lets us rewrite the question as 63 times 4, and we get 252.

Hope this helps!
