Question

Estimate 13.96 x 6.2
A. about 84
B. about 70
C. about 98
D. about 78

Answer 1

14 x 6 = 84, so approximately 84

Answer 2

if we will estimate,we don't need to get the points.we will be only get the product of the whole number which is 13 x 6 =78

Answer 3

13.96 x 6.2 = 86.552

84 is closer to 86.552
78 is not closer.

Answer 4

if we will use calculator,it is closer,but if it is estimated you just multiply its whole number..the word ESTIMATE..so you can't get exactly the product of two decimal..unless we will use calculator...just expressing my thought..
