Question

Estimate the product 859 × 42

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate the product 859 × 42

Answer 2

Answer: 900 x 40 = 36000

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate refers to answering the question without a calculator and not an exact answer but an answer near to it.

so in this case:

859 is close to 900 than 800

42 is close to 40 more than 45 or 50

so you round up 859 to 900

and round down 42 to 40

now it is very easy to calculate and an answer quite near it

so, 900 x 40 --> 36000.

This answer will say that it is quite near to 36000 than 35000

Hope you understand!
