(b) 5281 × 3491 
(c) 1291 × 592 
(d) 9250 × 29

Answer:

(a) 578 × 161

3491 round off to 3,500
The estimated product = 5,000 × 3,500 = 1,75,00,000

(c) 1291 × 592
1291 round off to 1300
592 round off to 600
The estimated product = 1300 × 600 = 7,80,000

(d) 9250 × 29
9250 round off to 10,000
229 round off to 30
