To estimate the product of 403 x 581 by rounding to the nearest hundred, we first round each number.
- **403** rounds to **400** (since it is closer to 400 than to 500).
- **581** rounds to **600** (since it is closer to 600 than to 500).
Now we multiply the rounded numbers:
\[
400 \times 600 = 240,000
\]
Thus, the estimated product of 403 x 581 by rounding to the nearest hundred is **240,000**.
- **403** rounds to **400** (since it is closer to 400 than to 500).
- **581** rounds to **600** (since it is closer to 600 than to 500).
Now we multiply the rounded numbers:
\[
400 \times 600 = 240,000
\]
Thus, the estimated product of 403 x 581 by rounding to the nearest hundred is **240,000**.
