Find The Product. Estimate to check.
0.12 X 0.9 = 10.8 or is it .108?
estimate is 12 X 10 =120
Is this correct?
Thank you
nine-tenths of twelve hundredths?
.108
estimate? .1x 1.0= .1
it is 0.108 AKA (108)
To find the product of 0.12 and 0.9, you can multiply the numbers together.
0.12 × 0.9 = 0.108
So, the product is actually 0.108, not 10.8.
To estimate and check if the answer is reasonable, you can round the numbers to the nearest whole number and multiply them:
0.12 can be estimated as 0
0.9 can be estimated as 1
0 × 1 = 0
So the estimated product is 0, which is significantly smaller than 10.8 and not close to 120. This indicates that the actual product of 0.12 and 0.9 being 0.108 is reasonable.
Therefore, both the actual product and the estimated product are correct:
Actual product: 0.12 × 0.9 = 0.108
Estimated product: 0 × 1 = 0
