Estimate Products of fractions
Learn how to estimate Multiplying fractions!
Step 1
First, take the two numbers you are multiplying and round them to a compatible number or a number that is easier to use. Example: 23 1/4 would round to 23 because that's an easier number to use than 23 1/4. It is also closer to 23 than it is to 24.
Step 2
Next, multiply the two numbers that you are going to use. If you are multiplying a with a whole number, you can represent it by using (Example) 23/1. Example. 24 * 3/4= 24/1 * 3/4= 18.
