Q. Estimate the product. Round each factor to the nearest whole number, then multiply.

\newline

1\frac{4}{5}

\times

7\frac{1}{2}

\newline

The product is approximately

\_\_

.

Round Factors: Step $1$ : Round each factor to the nearest whole number. $\newline$ $1 \frac{4}{5}$ rounds to $2$ because $\frac{4}{5}$ is close to a whole, and $7 \frac{1}{2}$ rounds to $8$ because $\frac{1}{2}$ is exactly half way and rounds up. $\newline$ Calculation: $1 \frac{4}{5} \approx 2$ , $7 \frac{1}{2} \approx 8$
Multiply Rounded Numbers: Step $2$ : Multiply the rounded numbers to estimate the product. $\newline$ Calculation: $2 \times 8 = 16$
