Answer:
Rounding off the number gave a better approximate of the product of given numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information:
[tex]48\times 123 = 5904[/tex]
Compatible numbers are the numbers that are easy to add, subtract and multiply.
Now, if we use compatible numbers to evaluate the same product we get:
[tex]45\times 120 = 5400[/tex]
Now, if we round off the given numbers, we can evaluate the product as:
[tex]50\times 120 = 6000[/tex]
Hence, rounding off the number gave a better approximate of the product of given numbers.
