Best answer

(i) 28 x 287

28 to the nearest ten = 30 and, 287 to the nearest hundred = 300

∴ Required product = (30 x 300) = 9000

(ii) 432 x 128

432 to the nearest ten = 430 and, 128 to the nearest hundred = 100

∴ Required product = (430 x 100) = 43000

(iii) 48 x 165

48 to the nearest ten = 50 and, 165 to the nearest hundred = 200

∴ Required product = (50 x 200) = 10000

(iv) 72 x 258

72 to the nearest ten = 70 and, 258 to the nearest hundred = 300

∴ Required product = (70 x 300) = 21000

(v) 83 x 664

83 to the nearest ten = 80 and, 664 to the nearest hundred = 700

∴ Required product = (80 x 700) = 56000

(vi) 44 x 250

44 to the nearest ten = 40 and, 250 to the nearest hundred = 300

∴ Required product = (40 x 300) = 12000
