Estimate the value of this expression by rounding each number to the nearest whole unit. (2.42)(8.82)(4.23) A. 96 B. 108 C. 72 D. 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you

OpenStudy (mrnood):

it is not b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me break this down so you understand how to get the answer

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@DERRICKCURRY stop giving random incorrect answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, you need to round all of these numbers to the nearest whole unit right?

OpenStudy (maddie82502):

its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 2.42 rounded to the nearest whole number is 2. Since 4 is not enough to make it 3 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, you tell me @awesomeswimmer, what is 8.82 rounded to the nearest whole number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (maddie82502):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome! That's right! So now, what's 4.23 rounded to the nearest whole number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (maddie82502):

awesome job @awesomeswimmer ur doing fantastic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great! So now we have the numbers 2,9, and 4, okay? So now we have to multiply them all since they are right beside each other. So what's 2x9x4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x9x4 = 72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're correct! So what answer choice is that?

OpenStudy (maddie82502):

yes so that's ur answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly! So do you understand how we did that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes Thank you for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! I'm glad I was able to help! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
