enter the correct answer in the box.
show hints
estimate:
76
× 29

Explanation:

Step1: Round to nearest ten

76 rounded to nearest ten: 80 (since 6 ≥ 5, round up 70 + 10 = 80)
29 rounded to nearest ten: 30 (since 9 ≥ 5, round up 20 + 10 = 30)

Step2: Calculate estimate

Estimate: \( 80 \times 30 = 2400 \)

Step3: Calculate actual product

\( 76 \times 29 \)
First, \( 76 \times 20 = 1520 \)
Then, \( 76 \times 9 = 684 \)
Add them: \( 1520 + 684 = 2204 \)

Answer:

Estimate: 2400
Product: 2204
