Question

Round each mixed number to the nearest whole number. Then, estimate the product.

8 9/10 x 1 4/5

Answer 1

Hi there!

First, let's round 8 9/10:

Since 9/10 is about 1, 8 9/10 is about 9

Now, let's round 1 4/5:

Since 4/5 is about 1 as well, 1 4/5 is about 2

9 * 2 = 18

So, the approximate answer is 18.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

8 9/10 = 8.9

9 is greater than 5, so round up

8.9 becomes 9

1 4/5 = 1.8

8 is greater than 5, so round up

1.8 becomes 2

9 x 2 = 18

18 should be your answer

hope this helps
