Estimate the following products using general rule:
(a) 578 × 161
(b) 5281 × 3491
(c) 1291 × 592
(d) 9250 × 29
Make four more such examples.
(a) 578×161
Rounding off by general rule,
598 rounds off to 600
161 rounds off to 200,
So,
= 600×200 = 120000
(b) 5281×3491
Rounding off by the general rule,
5281 rounds off to 5000
3491 rounds off to 3000
So,
= 5000×3000
= 15000000
(c) 1291×592
Rounding off by general rule,
9250 rounds off to 1000
592 rounds off to 600
So,
= 1000×600
= 600000
(d) 9250×29
Rounding off by general rule,
9250 rounds off to 9000
29 rounds off to 30
So,
= 9000 × 30
= 270000
