Best answer

(i) 477 x 213

477 to the nearest hundred = 500 and, 213 to the nearest hundred = 200

∴ Required product = (500 x 200) = 100000

(ii) 624 x 236

624 to the nearest hundred = 600 and, 236 to the nearest hundred = 200

∴ Required product = (600 x 200) = 120000

(iii) 333 x 247

333 to the nearest hundred = 300 and, 247 to the nearest hundred = 200

∴ Required product = (300 x 200) = 60000

(iv) 537 x 283

537 to the nearest hundred = 500 and, 283 to the nearest hundred = 300

∴ Required product = (500 x 300) = 150000

(v) 382 x 127

382 to the nearest hundred = 400 and, 127 to the nearest hundred = 100

∴ Required product = (400 x 100) = 40000

(vi) 427 x 328

472 to the nearest hundred = 500 and, 328 to the nearest hundred = 300

∴ Required product = (500 x 300) = 150000
