in 6.75x8.56 if the factors are rounded to the nearest whole mumber will the estimate be greater or smaller than the actual product. explain?​

Actual product: 6.75 × 8.56 ≈ 57.78Rounded factors: 7 × 9 ≈ 63Since 63 > 57.78, the estimated product (63) is greater than the actual product (57.78).This occurs because rounding both factors up (6.75 to 7 and 8.56 to 9) increased the estimated product, resulting in an overestimation.In general:Rounding both factors up → estimated product ≥ actual productRounding both factors down → estimated product ≤ actual productRounding one up and one down → estimated product ≈ actual product (depending on the numbers)#hope it helps
