Describe a real-life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense . Explain why it makes sense
1 answer:
Answer: Here we have a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate make sense:-
Miley has 212 fiction books. Sharon has 3 times fiction books has many as Miley has, how many fiction books Sharon has
Solution :- Number of fiction books Miley has = 212
Number of fiction books Sharon has= 3 times 212
We know that 212 is near to 200 , so round off 212 to 200 (to the nearest hundred)
Thus the product becomes
Therefore, the estimated number of fiction books Sharon has=600

Okay so this is going to be confusing but work from right to left. since you can’t do 0-5, borrow from the one next to the zero on the top, cross out the one and put zero and add a one on top of the zero which makes it 10. now you can do 10-5 to get 5. put the five down below the line. next solve the second column of numbers ( second to the right). since you cannot do 0- 3, like the last one, you have to borrow from the 7 over to the left. take one from there and cross the seven out and put a six. now you have 10-3 which is 7. put the 7 down. now do move to the next column and do 6-2 to get 4. put the four down below the line. move to the next column and do 2-2 to get 0. put the zero down below the line. lastly, we know the answer has to be negative so we are going to do 2-7 to get -5. put -5 down below the line and together to get the answer -502,275. i know that was very confusing but i hope it helped a little bit. i added a picture to clarify a little
