This video tutorial teaches how to estimate decimal products by rounding decimals to whole numbers. The key tip is to ensure only one digit has value after rounding, with all others being zero. Several example problems demonstrate the process of rounding and multiplying, including handling decimals less than one and vertical multiplication. The video concludes with a review of the problems and their solutions.

What is the main goal when estimating decimal products?

• To round decimals to whole numbers for easier multiplication

• To make calculations more complex

• To avoid using whole numbers

• To increase the number of digits in the product

What should you remember about digits after rounding?

• No digits should have value

• All digits should have value

• Only one digit should have value, others should be zero

• All digits should be non-zero

In the example of 8.5 times 7, what is the rounded value of 8.5?

• 8

• 7

• 10

• 9

Why is the result of 8.5 times 7 considered an overestimate?

• Because 7 was rounded down

• Because 8.5 was rounded up

• Because 8.5 was rounded down

• Because 7 was rounded up

When rounding a number with a hundreds place, what should you focus on?

• The smallest place value

• The decimal point

• The middle digit

• The largest place value

In the example of rounding with hundreds place, what is the rounded value of 138?

• 130

• 100

• 150

• 140

How should you handle numbers written vertically for rounding?

• Round each digit separately

• Leave them as they are

• Convert them to horizontal format

• Ignore the decimal point

In the example of 94.8 times 1.5, what is the rounded value of 94.8?

• 100

• 85

• 95

• 90

What is the rounded value of 12.1 in the example of 12.1 times 15?

• 20

• 12

• 15
