Samuel needs to estimate the product of 24 x 395.
First method
We round the number to nearest tens
24 can be rounded to 20 because we have 4 on ones place
395 can be rounded to 400 because we have 5 in ones place so we add 1 with 9 and it becomes 10 . so we add 1 with 3 and got 400
20 * 400 = 8000
Second method:
We round the number to nearest hundreds place
24 have no number in hundreds place so it remains 24
395 can be rounded to 400 because we have 9 in tens place.
24 * 400 = 9600
