Question

Describe a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense?

Answer 1

There were 3  friends. Each of them bought 6 packs of candy. Each pack had 18 pieces of candy. How much candy did they have in total? . 

3 × 6 = 18

18 × 18 = 324

SO, they had 324 pieces of candy in total.

Hope I helped:P 

Answer 2

you have 3 friends each get 53 sweets. how many sweets do you give out?

estimate: 53 rounded is 50 so 50 ×3= 150

real answer: 53×3=159

you know this makes sense as both answers are near or less similar.
