Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

its asking for an estimate, not the exact answer

I would guess .30 x 45

Answer 3

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.
