Answer:
The estimated product is 3500.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided numbers 726 and 5
We need to find the estimate value of the product of the numbers.
The rule of rounding a number is:
If 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 follow the number, then no need to change the rounding digit.
If 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 follow the number, then rounding digit rounds up by one number.
Here, tens place in 726 is less than 5, therefore, we can round down 726 to nearest hundred that is 700.
Now estimate the product of given numbers:
[tex]700\times 5[/tex]
[tex]7\times 100\times 5[/tex]
[tex]35\times 100=3500[/tex]
Therefore, the estimated product is 3500.
