9 3.15 x 1.9 3.15 x 1.9 Round to the nearest whole number to estimate answer Round to the nearest whole number to estimate answer 3 x 2 3 x 2 = 6 = 6 Do the multiplication (just ignore the decimals for now) Do the multiplication (just ignore the decimals for now) 315 315 x 19 x 19 5 4 3 1 28 501 3 5 8 9 5 So our answer should be somewhere around 6 So our answer should be somewhere around 6

10 Our estimate 5 9 8 5 5 9 8 5 Based on our estimate, where do you think the decimal should go? Based on our estimate, where do you think the decimal should go? Answer before doing anything with decimals Answer before doing anything with decimals 6. Let’s look at another example to see if we can come up with a rule…..
