Estimate Multiply
1. We are asked to estimate and then find the exact value of the product $0.34 \times 0.063$.
2. To estimate by rounding both numbers to one significant figure:
- $0.34$ rounded to one significant figure is $0.3$ because the first digit is 3.
- $0.063$ rounded to one significant figure is $0.06$ because the first digit is 6.
3. Multiply the rounded numbers:
$$0.3 \times 0.06 = 0.018$$
4. Now calculate the exact value:
$$0.34 \times 0.063 = 0.02142$$
5. So the estimated product is $0.018$ and the exact product is $0.02142$.
