Estimate the product. Round each factor to the nearest ten, then multiply.

To estimate the product of 36 and 87, we round each factor to the nearest ten:

– 36 rounds to 40

– 87 rounds to 90

Now, we multiply the rounded values:

40 × 90 = 3600

So, the product is approximately 3600.

This method gives us a quick estimate that helps us gauge the size of the actual product without calculating it exactly. If you need more help understanding rounding or multiplication, feel free to ask!
