Question

Estimate the product by rounding each number to the nearest ten. Then compute the product 123x 9.4

Answer 1

To estimate the product of 123 and 9.4 by rounding each number to the nearest ten:

- Round 123 to the nearest ten: **120**
- Round 9.4 to the nearest ten: **10**

Now, estimate the product:

\[
120 \times 10 = 1200
\]

Now, let's compute the actual product of 123 and 9.4:

\[
123 \times 9.4 = 1156.2
\]

So, the estimated product is **1200** and the actual product is **1156.2**.
