Questions and Answers

Q 1 - Estimate the product 8541 × 653 by first rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit

A - 6300000

B - 6500000

C - 6000000

D - 6600000

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

Rounding 8541 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest thousand.

8541 rounds to nearest thousand as 9000 as hundreds digit is 5.

Step 2:

Rounding 653 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest hundred.

653 rounds to nearest hundred as 700 as tens digit is 5.

Step 3:

So the estimated product after rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit is

9000 × 700 = 6300000

Q 2 - Estimate the product 6853 × 535 by first rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit

A - 3200000

B - 3500000

C - 3300000

D - 3600000

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

Rounding 6853 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest thousand.

6853 rounds to nearest thousand as 7000 as hundreds digit 8 > 5.

Step 2:

Rounding 535 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest hundred.

535 rounds to nearest hundred as 500 as tens digit 3 < 5.

Step 3:

So the estimated product after rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit is

7000 × 500 = 3500000

Q 3 - Estimate the product 617 × 84 by first rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit.

A - 40000

B - 42000

C - 45000

D - 48000

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

Rounding 617 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest hundred.

617 rounds to 600 as tens digit 1 < 5.

Step 2:

Rounding 84 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest ten.

84 rounds down to 80 as ones digit 4 < 5.

Step 3:

So the estimated product after rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit is

600 × 80 = 48000

Q 4 - Estimate the product 3832 × 346 by first rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit

A - 1200000

B - 1000000

C - 1500000

D - 1800000

Answer : A

Step 1:

Rounding 3832 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest thousand.

3832 rounds up to 4000 as the hundreds digit 8 > 5.

Step 2:

Rounding 346 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest hundred.

346 rounds to nearest hundred as 300 as tens digit 4 < 5.

Step 3:

Explanation

So the estimated product after rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit is

4000 × 300 = 1200000

Q 5 - Estimate the product 395 × 26 by first rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit.

A - 10000

B - 12000

C - 14000

D - 15000

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

Rounding 395 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest hundred.

395 rounds to nearest hundred as 400 as tens digit 9 > 5.

Step 2:

Rounding 26 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest ten.

26 rounds to nearest ten as 30 as its ones digit 6 > 5.

Step 3:

so the estimated product after rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit is

400 × 30 = 12000

Q 6 - Estimate the product 847 × 38 by first rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit.

A - 30000
