Question

Which expression gives the best estimate of the product of 281 x 2.16?

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

281 rounds up to 300

2.16 rounds down to 2

300*2=600

so 600 is your estimate

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

281 is closer to 300 than to 200 or 250, so it should be rounded to 300

2.16 is closer to 2 than 3 so it should be rounded to 2
