• 70/100 x 41/100

• 7/10 x 41/100

• 41/10 x 7/10

We can estimate the product by rounding one or both factors to the nearest whole and finding the approximate answer.

​

6.94 rounds to 7

3.8 rounds to 4

7 x 4 = 28

Therefore, the product of 6.94 and 3.8 should be around 28​

We can predict how many digits will be behind the decimal in the product by looking at how many digits are behind the decimals in the factors.

​

There are 2 digits behind the decimal in 6.94

There is 1 digit behind the decimal in 3.8

Therefore,​ there should be 3 digits behind the decimal in our product (UNLESS IT ENDS IN ZERO!)
