The product of the whole integers is 24, hence Tammy’s estimate is right, but the actual product should be 24.78.
The decimal numbers are written with the decimal point included. For instance 2.3 is pronounced as 2 point 3.
Given the product of the decimals
4.2 * 5.9
The following calculation was made by Tammy
Estimated product: 4.2 (5.9) almost-equals 4 (6) almost-equals 24. Exact product: 4.2 (5.9) = 2.478.
4.2 is approximately equal to 4
5.9 is approximately equal to 6
Take the product of the whole number
Product = 4 * 6 = 24
Since the product of the whole integers is 24, hence Tammy’s estimate is right, but the actual product should be 24.78.
