Question

Explain and show how you would estimate zero point five times four point six two. Then justify why this is a good choice for arriving at the correct answer.

Answer 1

0.5 * 4.62

depending on how accurate you want your estimation, you can round to the nearest tenth, or the nearest whole number. the nearest tenth would be closer, but an estimation is usually rounded to the whole number.

so if you want to round to the nearest tenth it would look something like this:
0.5 * 4.6
and solve

if you want to round to the nearest whole number it would be this:
1* 5
and solve

the justification you should be able to do yourself as i have explained it already(:
