Answer:
The estimate of the product is about 35 answer C
Step-by-step explanation:
- We use rounding to estimate the product of two fractions
- The mixed number has whole number and fraction
- To round the mixed number we look to the fraction
- If the numerator is half or greater than half the denominator, then we
add the whole number by 1 and cancel the fraction
- If the numerator is less than half the denominator, then we keep the
whole number as it and cancel the fraction
- Ex: If the mixed number is [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex], 3 is more than
half 4 then we will add 2 by 1 and cancel the fraction part, the
mixed number [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] after rounding is 3
- Ex: If the mixed number is [tex]5\frac{1}{4}[/tex], 1 is less than
half 4 then we will keep 5 as it and cancel the fraction part, the
mixed number [tex]5\frac{1}{4}[/tex] after rounding is 5
* Lets solve the problem
∵ In the part [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex] 3 is more than half 4
∴ The rounding value of [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex] is 5
∵ In the part [tex]7\frac{2}{17}[/tex] 2 is less than half 17
∴ The rounding value of [tex]7\frac{2}{17}[/tex] is 7
∴ [tex]4\frac{3}{4}*7\frac{2}{17}=5*7=35[/tex]
* The estimate of the product is about 35
