3-2 Estimating Products

How can you estimate products?
A store needs to take in at least

and manipulate very large
(e.g., millions) and very make a profit. If the store is

numbers.
and takes in an average of
$525 per day, will the store
make a profit in March? Does the
store make
$15,000?

Another Example What is another way to estimate products?

Estimate 24  39.

You can also use compatible numbers to estimate products.

It is easy to find 25  40, since 25 and 40 are compatible numbers. Remember that
25  4  100. So, 25  40  1,000, and 1,000 is a good estimate for 24  39.

Both numbers used to estimate were greater than the actual numbers.
So, 1,000 is an overestimate.

An exponent is also called a power. You can read 46 as “4 to the sixth

power”. The second and third powers have special names. Read 32 as
“3 to the second power,” or 3 squared. Read 63 as “6 to the third power,”
or 6 cubed.
