Answer 1

To estimate the products of \( 79 \times 37 \) and \( 62 \times 49 \), we can round the numbers to the nearest ten for easier calculations.

For \( 79 \times 37 \):

• Round \( 79 \) to \( 80 \)
• Round \( 37 \) to \( 40 \)

The estimated product is: \[ 80 \times 40 = 3200 \]

For \( 62 \times 49 \):

• Round \( 62 \) to \( 60 \)
• Round \( 49 \) to \( 50 \)

The estimated product is: \[ 60 \times 50 = 3000 \]

Now, we can find the sum of the estimates: \[ 3200 + 3000 = 6200 \]

The choice that shows the sum of the estimates is: 6,200.
