Estimating and Finding Decimal Products

Question 4 • ACHS-Fundamental Algebra A-CR

Which statements are true about the estimation of decimal products? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Estimation gives an approximate answer.
B
Estimation always results in a product greater than the exact answer.
C
Estimation always results in a product less than the exact answer.
D
Estimation can be done by rounding each decimal to the nearest whole number.

Explanation

Estimation gives a value close to the exact product, not necessarily the exact value, so it is approximate. One way to estimate decimal products is to round each decimal to the nearest whole number and then multiply. The estimate may be greater or less than the exact answer, so neither B nor C is always true.
