Question

Estimate the product of 358 and 326.

• A. 1,20,000
• B. 1,00,000
• C. 2,00,000
• D. 1,50,000

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,20,000

The general rule that we make is,
round off each factor to its greatest place, then multiply the rounded off factors

Rounding off 358 to the nearest hundreds gives 400.
Rounding off 326 to the nearest hundreds gives 300.

Therefore, the estimated product
= 400 x 300 = 1,20,000
