Best answer

(i) 49 x 52

49 to the nearest ten = 50 and, 52 to the nearest ten = 50

∴ Required product = (50 x 50) = 2500

(ii) 63 x 38

63 ta the nearest ten = 60 and, 38 to the nearest ten = 40

∴ Required product = (60 x 40) = 2400

(iii) 27 x 54

27 to the nearest ten = 30 and, 54 to the nearest ten = 50

∴ Required product = (30 x 50) = 1500

(iv) 53 x 85

53 to the nearest ten = 50 and, 85 to the nearest ten = 90

∴ Required product = (50 x 90) = 4500

(v) 74 x 67

74 to the nearest ten = 70 and, 67 to the nearest ten = 70

∴ Required product = (70 x 70) = 4900

(vi) 25 x 33

25 to the nearest ten = 30 and, 33 to the nearest ten = 30

∴ Required product = (30 x 30) = 900
