Multiplying Fractions

Question 10 • Pre-Algebra A-CR

Which did you consider in your response? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
You can estimate after multiplying and check that the estimate is close to your answer.
B
You can estimate before multiplying to know about what answer to expect.

Explanation

Both are useful ways to use estimation when multiplying. You can estimate before multiplying to predict roughly what the answer should be, then estimate again after multiplying to check whether your exact answer is reasonable. So both “estimate after multiplying” and “estimate before multiplying” apply.
