Estimate Products SKATEBOARDING The record for the greatest distance traveled on skateboard in 24 hours was set by James Peters in 2007. He traveled about 7.6 miles per hour. 1. Round 7.6 to the nearest whole number. 8 2. Estimate how many miles James Peters traveled in 24 hours. about 24 8 or 192 miles 3. Is your estimate higher or lower than the actual distance he traveled? Explain. The estimate is higher than the actual distance he traveled because 7.6 was rounded up. To estimate products of decimals, round each number. Then multiply. Multi-Part Lesson A Objective A B C D E Estimate Products Students will estimate the product of decimals and judge the reasonableness of the results. MA.6.A.5.3 Estimate the results of computations with fractions, decimals, and percents and judge the reasonableness of the results. Key Concept boxes highlight definitions, formulas, and other important ideas. Multiple representations words, symbols, examples, and models help students understand the concepts. Round Decimals To round a decimal, first underline the digit to be rounded. Then look at the digit to the right of the place being rounded. If the digit is 4 or less, the underlined digit remains the same. If the digit is 5 or greater, add 1 to the underlined digit. After rounding, change all digits after the underlined digit to zeros. Estimate Products Using Rounding Estimate 8.7 2.8. Round to the nearest whole number to make it easier to compute mentally. 8.7 2.8 9 3 27 Round 8.7 to 9. Round 2.8 to 3. The product is about 27. 1 FOCUS Activity Review how to round decimals to the nearest whole number. Have students draw a number line from 1 to 10. Then ask them to locate and label 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and so on through 9.5. Ask: Is 1.2 closer to 1 or to 2? How can you tell? 1; The distance between 1.2 and 1 is less than the distance between 1.2 and 2. Is 4.75 closer to 4 or to 5? How can you tell? 5; The distance between 4.75 and 5 is less than the distance between 4.75 and 5. Use the number line to round the following numbers to the nearest whole number: 5.67; 3.41; 9.95. 6; 3; 10 Estimate each product. a. 9.6 1.8 20 b. 8.7 2.9 27 c. 68.4 21.3 1,400 Lesson 27 Tips for New Teachers 7_033_C1L1_891639.indd 27 1/9/09 12:11:47 PM Rounding If students have trouble remembering the rules for rounding, teach them this rhyme: 5 and above, give it a shove. 4 and below, let it go. 2 TEACH Scaffolding Questions Ask: Suppose James travels at an average of 5.4 miles per hour for 8.25 hours. How would you round the numbers to estimate how far he traveled? Round 5.4 to 5 and 8.25 to 8. About how far would James travel? 40 miles Would your estimate be higher or lower than the actual distance? Explain. Sample answer: Lower; both numbers are rounded down, so the estimated distance is less than the actual distance. Lesson 27

At this speed, about how far could the helicopter travel in 2.5 hours? 135 km RECIPES Anna has $20 to buy 8 pounds of tomatillos for a party. The tomatillos cost $2.89 per pound. Does she have enough money to buy them? Explain your reasoning. No; Sample answer: $2.89 is close to $3. If you round $2.89 to $3, the tomatillos will cost about $24. IWB INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD READY Focus on Mathematical Content Rounding decimals to the nearest whole number before multiplying is one way to estimate a product. Refer to the digit in the tenths place. If the digit in the tenths place is 5 or higher, the number is rounded to the next whole number. If the digit is less than 5, then the whole number remains the same. Study Tips offer students helpful information about the topics they are studying. Rounding Decimals When rounding decimals, such as 99.96 to the tenths, the 9 must round up. So, 99.96 rounded to the nearest tenth is 100.0. f. Yes; $1 30 = $30 and $2 30 = $60. So, they will earn between $30 and $60. DOGS A greyhound can travel 39.3 miles per hour. At this speed, about how far could a greyhound travel in 6.5 hours? 39.3 6.5 40 7 280 Round 39.3 to 40.

Does she have enough money to buy these binders? Explain your reasoning. Estimate. 5 $4 = $20 Estimate 4.29 as 4. 5 $5 = $25 Estimate 4.29 as 5. The actual cost of the binders is between $20 and $25. So, Patrice does not have enough money to buy the binders. f. PROFIT The art club makes a profit of $1.75 on every batch of cookies they sell at a bake sale.

AL OL BL Interpersonal Present these questions to a small group. Why is being able to estimate answers in mathematics important? Sample answers: Sometimes you do not need to find an exact answer; estimates can help you check an answer. Describe a situation in which you estimated an answer. How and why was estimation helpful? Sample answer: Before I solved a problem, I estimated the answer. It helped me decide whether my actual solution was reasonable. When in real life is estimating more helpful than finding the exact answer? Sample answer: to determine how much I have spent when I am shopping Name some real-world situations where estimating an answer is not helpful. Sample answer: In sports, such as a race, an exact time is needed to determine the winner. Visit to rewatch the animated version of Money Challenge. 27.

Sample answer: The total number of decimals in the factors is the same as the number of places the decimal is placed from right to left in the product. 14a. Sample answer: The first product is less than the multiplicand because the multiplier is less than one. You don t want all of what you started with, only a part of a whole, so the product is less than the multiplicand. 14b. Sample answer: The second product is equal to the multiplicand because of the Identity Property. Any number times one is equal to that number itself. 14c. Sample answer: The third product is greater than the multiplicand because the multiplier is more than one. So, the product is more than what you started with. Lesson 39

Sample answer: If a = 1.5 and b = 0.2, then ab = 0.3, which is less than 1; if 35 GROCERY SHOPPING Pears cost $0.98 per a = 1.5 and b = 0.8, then ab = 1.2, which is not less than 1. 38. Sample answer: If ab = 0.63, then a could be 0.9 and b could be 0.7, which are both less than 1; if ab = 0.5, then a could be 0.5, which is less than 1, but b would be 1.0, which is not less than 1. 6.9 in. 3.1 in. 6.1 in. pound and apples cost $1.05 per pound. Mr. Bonilla bought 3.75 pounds of pears and 2.1 pounds of apples. How much did he pay for the pears and apples? Explain your answer. $5.88; Each price is about $1. He bought about 6 pounds of fruit. 6 1 = 6 $5.88 36. FIND THE DATA Refer to the Data File on pages 2 5. Choose some data and write a real-world problem in which you would multiply decimals. See students work. For each statement below, find two decimals a and b that make the statement true. Then find two decimals a and b that make the statement false. Explain your reasoning. 37. If a > 1 and b < 1, then ab < 1. 38. If ab < 1, then a < 1 and b < 1. 034_043_C1L1_891639.indd 42 1/28/09 3:54:47 11 24, 47, 48 25 42, 46, 49 57 3 in.

Sample answer: Multiplying whole numbers and decimals is similar because you can multiply decimals as if they were whole numbers. Multiply each digit of one factor by the ones, tens, hundreds, and so on of the other factor. Multiplying decimals is different from multiplying whole numbers because you need to place the decimal point in the product. You can count the number of decimal places in each factor and use this number for the number of decimal places in the product, annexing zeros to the left if needed. Practice exercises help students solidify their knowledge using exercises in a format similar to the state test. Lesson 43
