round the number to its greatest place value then multiply

Question

3.6 x 24

Answer 1

To round 3.6 to its greatest place value, we round it to 4 (since the digit after the decimal is 6, which rounds it up).

Now, we multiply the rounded number by 24:

$$4\times 24=96$$

So, $3.6\times 24$ rounded to its greatest place value and multiplied gives you $96$.
