Answer 3

It is easy to simply compute something like 4 x 20

Answer 4

that would be a rough estimation.

Answer 5

It's a rough estimation because it is off by nearly 20 units.

Answer 6

But it does make sense because 4 > 3.64 and 20 > 17.06

Answer 7

We would expect the exact calculation of 3.64 x 17.06 to be less than that.

Answer 8

To be less than that of 4 x 20

Answer 9

We would expect the exact calculation of 3.64 x 17.06 to be less than that.

Answer 10
