Draw lines to match each word(s) with its correct description or meaning.

Explanation:
In mathematics, compatible numbers are the numbers,
that are easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally.
Compatible numbers are close in value to the actual numbers,
that make estimating the answer and computing problems easier.

Estimation means approximating a quantity to the required accuracy.
This is obtained by rounding off the numbers involved in the calculation and getting a quick and rough answer.
For example; 6.3 = estimated to 6.
The term “product” refers to the result of one or more multiplications.
For example, if we multiply 2 and 5 together we get a product of 10.

Estimate each product.

Question 4.
$1.80 × 8 Answer:$16
Explanation:
Given, $1.80 x 8 =$14.4
To estimate the product, we first round off the multiplier and the multiplicand to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then multiply the rounded numbers.
To estimate the product, to the nearest whole number.
If the tenths place is less than 5, we round down to the nearest whole number.
So, $1.80 as 2 and then multiply with 8 to get the product as 16. Question 5.$2.83 × 7
$21 Explanation: Given,$2.83 x 7 = $19.81 To estimate the product, we first round off the multiplier and the multiplicand to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then multiply the rounded numbers. If the tenths place is more than 5, we round up to the nearest whole number. So,$2.83 as $3 and then multiply with 7, we get 21. Multiply. Check for reasonableness. Question 6. Answer: product = 15.2 Estimate = 16 Explanation: Perform the actual multiplication by multiplying 1.9 x 8 to get the product 15.2. By rounding the number 1.9 to nearest tenth as 2, then multiply with 8 we get 16. Subtract the smaller number from the larger one to check for reasonableness. 16 – 15.2 = 0.8 Question 7. Answer: product = 23.8 Estimate = 21 Explanation: Perform the actual multiplication by multiplying 3.4 x 7 to get the product 23.8. By rounding the number 3.4 to nearest tenth as 3, then multiply with 7 we get 21. Subtract the smaller number from the larger one to check for reasonableness. 23.8 – 21 = 2.8 Question 8. 2.3 × 2 = ____________ Answer: product = 4.6 Estimate = 4 Explanation: Perform the actual multiplication by multiplying 2.3 x 2 to get the product 4.6. By rounding the number 2.3 to nearest tenth as 2, then multiply with 2 we get 4. Subtract the smaller number from the larger one to check for reasonableness. 4.6 – 4 = 0.6 Question 9. 0.24 × 5 = ____________ Answer: product = 1.2 Estimate = 0.2 Explanation: Perform the actual multiplication by multiplying 0.24 x 5 to get the product 1.2. By rounding the number 0.24 to nearest tenth as 0.2, then multiply with 5 we get 1. Subtract the smaller number from the larger one to check for reasonableness. 1.2 – 1 = 0.2 Problem Solving Question 10. Jorge bought 8 pounds of ground beef for$3.29 a pound. About how much did he pay altogether?
$24 Explanation: Jorge bought 8 pounds of ground beef. Cost of each pound =$3.29
Total amount he paid = 3.29 x 8 = 26.32
Estimate to the nearest tenth as,
3 x 8 = $24. Question 11. The Marino family bought 4 tickets to the circus. What was the total cost of the tickets? Answer:$59.80
Explanation:
The Marino family bought 4 tickets to the circus.
Cost of each ticket is $14.95. The total cost of the tickets =$14.95 x 4 = $59.80 Question 12. Wendy paints a rectangular wall that is 10.5 feet tall and 9.2 feet wide. What is the area of the wall that she paints? Answer: 96.6 feet. Explanation: Wendy paints a rectangular wall that is 10.5 feet tall and 9.2 feet wide. Area of a rectangle = length x width l = 10.5 feet; w = 9.2 feet. The total area of the wall that she paints, 10.5 x 9.2 = 96.6 feet. Question 13. One pound of tomatoes costs$1.59. How much do 5 pounds of tomatoes cost?
$7.95 Explanation: One pound of tomatoes costs$1.59.
Cost of 5 pounds of tomatoes = 1.59 x 5 = $7.95 Test Practice Question 14. Mr. Garner’s gas tank holds 17.5 gallons of gasoline. How much will it cost him to fill up his gas tank if gasoline costs$2.48 per gallon?
(A) $34 (B)$42.16
(C) $43.40 (D)$45.20
Option(C)
Explanation:
Mr. Garner’s gas tank holds 17.5 gallons of gasoline.
Cost of one gallon of gasoline is $2.48. Total cost of 17.5 gallons = 2.48 x 17.5 =$43.40

Identify the multiplication property for each equation.

Associative Property
Commutative Property
Identity Property

Question 1.
1.5 × 2 = 2 × 1.5
Commutative Property.
Explanation:
According to the commutative property of multiplication,
changing the order of the numbers we are multiplying, does not change the product.
1.5 × 2 = 2 × 1.5
3 = 3

Question 2.
5.5 × (3 × 10) = (5.5 × 3) × 10
Associative property.
Explanation:
To “associate” means to connect or join with something.
The term associative property states that when an expression has three terms,
they can be grouped in any way to solve that expression.
The grouping of numbers will never change the result of their operation.
5.5 × (3 × 10) = (5.5 × 3) × 10
165 = 165

Question 3.
7.8 × 1 = 7.8
Identity Property.
Explanation:
The identity property of multiplication states that,
if you multiply any number by 1, the answer will always be the same number.
7.8 × 1 = 7.8

Question 14.
Five friends went to the movies. The total cost was $55.91. If the friends split the cost equally, about how much did each person pay? Answer:$10 or $12 Explanation: The total cost of movie tickets was$55.91.
No. of friends = 5
If the friends split the cost equally, each person have to pay,
$55.91 round to the nearest hundred as$50.
$50 ÷ 5 =$10
If we round to nearest tens, then
$00 ÷ 5 =$12

Area of a rectangle = length x width
l = 10.5 feet; w = 9.2 feet.
The total area of the wall that she paints,
10.5 x 9.2 = 96.6 feet.

Question 16.
Kevin swims 50 meters in 1.1 minutes on his first day of swimming class. He swims the same distance in 0.9 minute a week later. The next week, he swims the same distance in 0.7 minute. If the pattern continues, what will be Kevin’s time one week later?

0.5 minutes.
Explanation:
Kevin swims 50 meters in 1.1 minutes on his first day of swimming class.
He swims the same distance in 0.9 minute a week later.
The next week, he swims the same distance in 0.7 minute.
If the pattern continues, what will be Kevin’s time one week later is 0.5
The pattern is decreasing by 0.2 in every week as shown below,
1.1 – 0.2 = 0.9
0.9 – 0.2 = 0.7
0.7 – 0.2 = 0.5
