Which gives the best estimate and the exact product of (5.9)(8.28)? a: estimate: 40; exact product: 48.852 b: estimate: 48; exact product: 48.852 c: estimate: 400; exact product: 488.52 d: estimate: 480; exact product: 488.52

B: estimate: 48; exact product: 48.852

Explanation:
First, let's get the exact product:
5.9 * 8.28 = 48.852

Ten, let's get the estimated product:
5.9 will be rounded up giving us 6
8.28 will be rounded down giving us 8
Now the estimated product = 6 * 8 = 48

Based on the above calculations, we have:
estimate : 48
exact : 48.825
This corresponds to option B

Hope this helps :)

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
