Estimating products

math

1. Estimating Products

2. Terms
•Products–Answer to a multiplication
problem.
•Factors–The numbers multiplied to find a
product.
•Magnitude Estimate–An estimate to the
answer of a problem; it tells you whether
the answer is the tenths, ones, tens,
hundreds, thousands . . .

3. Steps
•Sample Problem: 14 x 17 = ?
•Round each of the factors so that there is
one number followed by zero(es).
Ex. 14 -> 10
x17 -> 20
•Solve the estimate to find the place value
of the product.
10 x 20 = 200; the answer is in the hundreds.

4. Additional Practice
1.18 x 21
2.27 x 6,245
3.99 x 21
4.22.6 x 28.9
1.20 x 20 = 400
The answer is in the hundreds.
2. 30 x 6,000 = 180,000
The answer is in the hundred-thousands.
3. 100 x 20 = 2000
The answer is in the thousands
4. 20 x 30 = 600
The answer is in the hundreds
