Use rounding to estimate the product of 9x92. Then use compensation to find the actual answer. Based on your estimate, is your actual answer reasonable? Why or why not?
9x92 can be rounded to 9x90 to get a good estimate. My estimate is that the answer will be about 810. Using compensation, I know that I had to subtract 2 before I multiplied, so now I must find 9x2 (18), and add that back on in the end. My total answer would be 828. Based on my estimate, my answer is reasonable because it is close to the estimated total.
