Sophia wanted to estimate the product 73 x 12 so she made an estimate of 70x 10. Would her estimate be greater or near the actual estimate?

her estimate would not be greater, so it would be near the actual estimate. the numbers 70 and 10 are smaller than the numbers 73 and 12, so it is not possible for 70 x 10 to be more than 73 x 12 is. i hope this helps!!
