Question

Estimate then record their products 3 × 46

Answer 1

Answer:

Estimate is 150 and actual product is 138.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate products, we round the numbers to nearest unit place, 10th, 100th, 1000th, and so on.

Given are the numbers 3 and 46.

We can round 46 ≈ 50.

So Estimation would be 3 x 46 ≈ 3 x 50

3 times 5 is 15 and we can add zeros after it.

So estimation is 3 x 46 ≈ 150.

Now actual product would be...

3 times 6 is 18, so we note down 8 and 1 goes to carry over 4.

3 times 4 is 12 and carry 1 will be added in it, so 12 + 1 = 13.

It means the actual product is 3 x 48 = 138.
