what equation would provide the best estimate of 32% of 44.7

Question

anonymous · Answer

So "of" in math is a hint for multiplication.  Therefore, we would use the decimal form of 32%, which is 0.32, and multiply it by 44.7

equation:  0.32*44.7

its asking for an estimate, not the exact answer

I would guess .30 x 45

anonymous · Answer

well, if you insist on estimating, 0.33 is approximately 1/3, and is much closer to 0.32.  Therefore, you would round 44.7 to 45, and 0.32 to 1/3.  Your final equation is 

45*1/3 or 45/3.  Enjoy.

$$0.33\approx 1/3, (read 0.3 repeating)$$
