Question

round the following numbers to the nearest tens and estimate the product

Answer 1

We are to round the numbers to nearest tens and estimate the product.

$37.89\cdot41$

Let us roung up the numbers to the nearest tens first.

$\begin{gathered} 37.89\approx40(nearest\text{ tens)} \\ 41\approx40(nearest\text{ tens)} \end{gathered}$

Let us now find the product of the numbers

$\begin{gathered} 40\cdot40=40\times40=1600 \\ 40\cdot40=1600 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is

$40\cdot40=1600$
