Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimating a sum by rounding to get the best estimate is the goal of this lesson. Notice that we try to estimate. We don't need to have an exact answer!
Notice that for numbers with two digits, there can only be one estimate because you can only round to the tens place.
Estimate the following sums: 36 + 21, 74 + 15, and 85 + 24
36 + 21 = 40 + 20 = 60
74 + 15 = 70 + 20 = 90
1. (1.35)x(.42)
1.35
x. .42
________
270
5400
________
.5670
You need to have the total number of decimal places from the original two numbers. 1.35 has two decimal places and .42 has to decimal places you have a total of four decimal places, Which means 5670 is .5670
2. (.22)x(.04)
.22
x. .04
_______
88
00
_______
.0088
you need to have the total number of decimal places from the original Two numbers. So .22 is two decimal places and .04 is two decimal places, so you will need to have for decimal places. That means that the answer 88 needs to be translated into .0088
