Question

For a problem 225 estimate dental if your estimate is in overestimate or underestimate
43×108

Answer 1

To estimate the product of \(43 \times 108\), we can round each number to make the multiplication simpler.

1. Round \(43\) to \(40\) (a nearby multiple of \(10\)).
2. Round \(108\) to \(110\) (a nearby multiple of \(10\)).

Now, we can calculate the estimated product:

\[
40 \times 110 = 4400
\]

Next, let's calculate the actual product to see if our estimate is an overestimate or an underestimate:

\[
43 \times 108 = 4644
\]

Now, we compare the estimated product (4400) with the actual product (4644):

- Our estimate of \(4400\) is **less than** the actual product \(4644\), which means our estimate is an **underestimate**.

**Final Answer:** Estimated product is \(4400\) and it is an **underestimate**.
