Q. Estimate the product. Round the first factor to the nearest whole number, round the second factor to the nearest ten, and then multiply.821×27The product is approximately _____.
Round First Factor: Step 1: Round the first factor, 821, to the nearest whole number.821 rounds to 9 because it's closer to 9 than to 8.Calculation: 8.5→9
Round Second Factor: Step 2: Round the second factor, 27, to the nearest ten.27 rounds to 30 because it's closer to 30 than to 20. Calculation: 27→30
Multiply Rounded Numbers: Step 3: Multiply the rounded numbers to estimate the product.9×30=270Calculation: 9×30=270
