What is a reasonable estimate for 786 x 217?

Mathematics
1 answer:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimations like this usually involve rounding to easy numbers to multiply. You could do this in a number of ways depending on your ability to keep track of factors in your head, but the easiest way (and what I assume your teacher is looking for) is to round to the nearest, largest-power-of-ten, which in this case is the hundreds. 786 is closest to 800, and 217 is closest to 200, and 200*800 is 160,000. No calculator required is the key. You can also be slightly more sure that this is <em>reasonable</em> because you rounded up for one and down for the other, approximately by the same amount, too.

kari74 [83]
In order to find an average, you have to add all the numbers and divide by the number of things you added.

120.37 + 108.45 + 114.86 = 343.68
343.68/3 = 114.56

She spent an average of $114.56 each month on groceries.

Solve the system of equations -x+ 2y = –11 and 5x – 8y = 39 by<br> combining the equations.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

x=-5, y=-8. (-5, -8).

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+2y=-11

5x-8y=39

---------------

5(-x+2y)=5(-11)

5x-8y=39

---------------------

-5x+10y=-55

5x-8y=39

--------------------

2y=-16

y=-16/2

y=-8

-x+2(-8)=-11

-x-16=-11

-x=-11+16

-x=5

x=-5

OleMash [197]

Answer:

3 hours + 5hours = 8 hours ÷ 2 =

4 hours is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 2 people working and need to know how long it would take them to finish a job. Working together on the same job, you add each of their total hours to do the job alone,, 5 + 3 = 8, then divide the 8 by 2 people

equals 4 hours for 2 people on 1 job.
