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 $0.02142$.
