Question

Estimate the product. 4,802 x 104 =​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$4802$ × $104$

To find:

Estimate the product of $4802$ × $104$

Solution:

• In order to estimate products, we round the given factors to the required place value.

• To estimate the product, we first round off the multiplier and the multiplicand to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then multiply the rounded numbers.

Here, $4802$ × $104$ can be estimated as follows,

⇒ $4802$ is rounded up to $5000$.

          $4802$ → $5000$

⇒$104$ is rounded down to $100$.

          $104$ → $100$

Multiply the rouned values $5000$ × $100=500000$.

The multiple value of $4802$ × $104=499408$.

So what we know from these estimating products help us to check the reasonableness of an answer.

Answer:

Hence the estimated product is $500000$.
