Full solution

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

\newline

5\frac{1}{3}

\times

6\frac{8}{9}

\newline

The product is approximately

\_\_

.

Round Factors: Step $1$ : Round each factor to the nearest whole number. $\newline$ $5 \frac{1}{3}$ rounds to $5$ (since $\frac{1}{3}$ is less than $\frac{1}{2}$ ). $\newline$ $6 \frac{8}{9}$ rounds to $7$ (since $\frac{8}{9}$ is close to $1$ ).
Multiply Rounded Numbers: Step $2$ : Multiply the rounded numbers. $\newline$ $5 \times 7 = 35$
