Estimate each product by rounding to the nearest hundred 372 *9

Answer 1

To estimate the product of 372 and 9 by rounding to the nearest hundred:

1. Round 372 to the nearest hundred.

   • 372 is closer to 400 than to 300, so it rounds to 400.

2. Round 9 to the nearest hundred.

   • 9 is closer to 0 than to 100, so it rounds to 0.

Now, multiply the rounded numbers:

• 400 * 0 = 0

So, the estimated product of 372 and 9, after rounding to the nearest hundred, is 0.

However, if we reconsider by just rounding 372 and keeping 9 unrounded (or if you think of it in context), you could also consider estimating as:

• Rounding 372 to 400 and using 9 directly:
  • 400 * 9 = 3600.

Therefore, the estimated product could also be considered as 3600 depending on your interpretation of how to round.
