Question

Answer 1

To estimate the product of decimal and whole numbers, you can round the decimal number to the nearest whole number, and then multiply it by the whole number.

For example, if you have the decimal number 3.8 and the whole number 6, you can round 3.8 to 4 and multiply it by 6:

4 * 6 = 24

So the estimated product is 24.

Keep in mind that this is just an estimate and may not be the exact product.
