Which choice shows the best estimate of the product 0.48 × 591? a. 1/2 x 600 b.1 x 1,000 c.5 x 500 d.50 x 600

A. 1/2 x 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the given expression is,

0.48 × 591 = 283.68

In Option A,

1/2 x 600  = 300

In Option B,

1 x 1,000 = 1000

In option C,

5 x 500 = 2500

In Option D,

50 x 600 = 30,000

Since, from the given results 300 is near to 283.68.

Therefore, the choice in Option A shows the best estimate of the product 0.48 × 591.

In the problem, it says the 6 doesn't change so you can throw out option A and C. I had a similar problem in class the answer maybe f(x)=3(1.09)x+6 because that is what my teacher said in a similar problem. I can't really explain it because I didn't get it but I hope it helps you.
