How can estamating products help you to place the decimal correctly

2 answers:

If we have the problem: 3 times 1.2, and if we estimate the product, we get (3 times 1) 3. If you really do multiply it out, then you get 3.6. But what if you didn't know that, and you put 0.36. 0.36 is say off from our estimated product: 3. Therefore, we know that 0.36 is wrong, and 3.6 is correct (or reasonably correct), because 3.6 is close of 3. I hope this helps! :D

It is easier because you can see if your decimal answer is closer to the actual answer

You would do 20 • 3=60 and the you would add 20 • 1/5=4 so, your total is 64in.

Evaluate the expression using the values in the left column to complete the table

egoroff_w [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

A. $4b + 3b$

Using b = 2

$4(2) + 3(2) = 8 + 6 = 14$

Using b = 4

$4(4) + 3(4) = 16 + 12 = 28$

Using b = 6

$4(6) + 3(6) = 24 + 18 = 42$

Using b = 8

$4(8) + 3(8) = 32 + 24 = 56$

Using b = 10

$4(10) + 3(10) = 40 + 30 = 70$

Using b = 2

$4(12) + 3(12) = 48 + 36 = 84$

B. $3(x - 2)$

Using x = 3

$3(3 - 2) = 3(1) = 3$

Using x = 5

$3(5 - 2) = 3(3) = 9$

Using x = 7

$3(7 - 2) = 3(5) = 15$

Using x = 9

$3(9 - 2) = 3(7) = 21$

Using x = 11

$3(11 - 2) = 3(9) = 27$

Using x = 13

$3(13 - 2) = 3(11) = 33$

C. $5(4a - 1)$

Using a = 2

$5(4(2) - 1) = 5(8 - 1) = 5(7) = 35$

Using a = 3

$5(4(3) - 1) = 5(12 - 1) = 5(11) = 55$

Using a = 4

$5(4(4) - 1) = 5(16 - 1) = 5(15) = 75$

Using a = 5

$5(4(5) - 1) = 5(20 - 1) = 5(19) = 95$

Using a = 6

$5(4(6) - 1) = 5(24 - 1) = 5(23) = 115$

Using a = 7

$5(4(7) - 1) = 5(28 - 1) = 5(27) = 135$

D. $6y - 2y + 4$

Using y = 2

$6(2) - 2(2) + 4 = 12 - 4 + 4 = 12$

Using y = 3

$6(3) - 2(3) + 4 = 18 - 6 + 4 = 18 - 2 = 16$

Using y = 5

$6(5) - 2(5) + 4 = 30 - 10 + 4 = 30 - 6 = 24$

Using y = 10

$6(10) - 2(10) + 4 = 60 - 20 + 4 = 60 - 16 = 44$

Using y = 8

$6(8) - 2(8) + 4 = 48 - 16 + 4 = 48 - 12 = 36$

Using y = 6

$6(6) - 2(6) + 4 = 36 - 12 + 4 = 36 - 8 = 28$

W=3? What is the value of the expression below when w = 5w+ 2

topjm [15]

Answer:

The value of the expression at w=3 is;

$17$

Explanation:

Given the expression;

$5w+2$

Then when w=3, the value of the expression is;

$\begin{gathered} 5w+2 \\ =5(3)+2 \\ =15+2 \\ =17 \end{gathered}$

The value is gotten by replacing/substituting w with 3 in the expression;

Therefore, the value of the expression at w=3 is;

$17$
