Basically all you need to do is estimate what 32.7 x 2.8 is. If what you get is close to 91.56, then Tom's answer is reasonable. If what you get is not close to 91.56, then his answer is not reasonable. Do you know how to estimate by rounding?

anonymous · Answer

32.7 
rounds to 30
2.8 
round to 3

Then do 30 x 3 = 90
90 is close to 91.56
