Answer: 50%
Step-by-step explanation: 50%
To find the product of a reasonable estimate of two decimal numbers, round each decimals to the nearest whole number and then perform the multiplication.
For example:
3.2 x 5.7
Estimated answer
3.2 will be rounded down to 3 and 5.7 will be rounded up to 6
⇒ 3 x 6 = 18
Actual Answer
3.2 x 5.7
=18.24
You find the lowest common denominator of both fractions, which in this case is 24.
1/6 is equivalent to 4/24 and 1/8 is equivalent to 3/24.
4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24
