Question

For a problem 225 estimate dental if your estimate is in overestimate or underestimate
29× 688

Answer 1

To estimate the product of \(29 \times 688\), we can round the numbers to make the multiplication simpler.

1. **Estimate \(29\)**: We can round \(29\) to \(30\) (which is an overestimate).
2. **Estimate \(688\)**: We can round \(688\) to \(700\) (which is also an overestimate).

Now, we multiply the rounded numbers:

\[
30 \times 700 = 21000
\]

So, the estimated product is \(21000\).

To determine if this estimate is an overestimate or an underestimate, let's consider the actual multiplication:

\[
29 \times 688 = 19952
\]

Since \(21000\) (our estimate) is greater than \(19952\) (the actual product), the estimate \(21000\) is an overestimate.
