Answer 2

The estimate of the product expression -29 (-2/7) is 7

How to estimate the product?

The product expression is given as:

-29 (-2/7)

From the question, we have:

-2/7 ≈ -2/8 ≈ − 1/4

So, the equation becomes

-29 (-2/7) ≈ -29(-1/4)

-29 can be estimatesd to -28.

So, we have:

-29 (-2/7) ≈ -28(-1/4)

Expand the product

-29 (-2/7) ≈ 7

Hence, the estimate of the product -29 (-2/7) is 7
