Answer:

  1. Estimated: 2240
  2. Exact: 2224

Explanation:

To estimate:

  1. Round 556 to the nearest 10s place: 560
  2. 4 is fine as it is
  3. 560 × 4 = 2240

Exact answer:

  1. 556 × 4 = 2224

Because the two answers are really close to each other, our rounded answer makes sense.

I hope this helps!
