Question

Estimate each of the following products by rounding off each number to the nearest hundred: $$537 \times 283$$.

Answer 1

$$537 \times 283$$
$$537$$ to the nearest hundred = $$500$$, and
$$283$$ to the nearest hundred = $$300$$,
$$\therefore$$ Required product = $$(500 \times 300) = 150,000$$.
