Estimate the product of the numbers 908 x 67 by rounding each number to the nearest hundred. The estimated product is ?

Work Shown:

908 rounds to 900. This is because 908 is closer to 900, than it is to 1000.

While 67 rounds to 100, for similar reasoning as above.

Multiplying those rounded values gives 900*100 = 90,000. This is the number 90 thousand.

Note that 9*1 = 9 and its followed by four zeros (two each from 900 and 100). This is a quick way to mentally multiply things like this.

Using a calculator, we see that 908*67 = 60,836 which is fairly off from what we estimated. This is to be expected as estimates only give us a rough idea of how big a number is.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
