Medal Estimate the product of 7697 and 225 by front-end rounding the numbers.

OpenStudy (one098):

Try it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you given any multiple choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, alright. So front-end rounding is simply... just rounding the numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 7697 would be rounded to 7700 and 225 will be rounded to 230

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It wants the product (meaning, add those rounded numbers)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7930

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, actually, i'll have to check something, hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so it seems that 7697 would actually be rounded to 8000 and and 225 would be rounded to 200.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They wanted us to round the first digit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you add 8000 by 200 its 8200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, 8200 will be the product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we dont need to round that? to 8000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, they wanted those 2 numbers they gave you to be rounded and then added up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is just 8200?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, all they asked was for the estimation and product. (rounded number added together)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

Glad to help! :)
