estimate the the nearest half....

5/8....it is closer to 4/8(which is 1/2) then it is to 8/8(which is 1)...so we will round 5/8 to 1/2

8/9....it is closer to 9/9 (which is 1) then it is to 4.5/9 (which is half)...so we will round 8/9 to 1

" the product " means multiply

so 1 * 1/2 = 1/2 (or 0.50) <== estimate

actual : 5/8 * 8/9 = 5/9 (or 0.55) <== actual

Answer:

0.5 is the estimated product. 0.55 is the actual product.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding to the nearest half means suppose we have 0.6, it is closer to 0.5 than 1, so we round up 0.6 to 0.5.

5/8 is equal to 0.625, we will estimate it to 0.5.

8/9 is approximateply equal to 0.89, we will estimate to 1.

Calculate the product when estimated.

0.5 × 1 = 0.5

Calculate the actual product.

5/8 × 8/9 = 0.55
