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.
