1) Estimate the product by rounding each number to its greatest place value. $$ 2,342.7 	imes 784.3= $$

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Round $$2,342.7$$ to its greatest place value. The greatest place value is the thousands place, so we round to the nearest thousand. Since $$2,342.7$$ is closer to $$2,000$$ than to $$3,000$$, we have  
   $$
   2,342.7 \approx 2,000.
   $$

2. Round $$784.3$$ to its greatest place value. The greatest place value here is the hundreds place, so we round to the nearest hundred. Since $$784.3$$ is closer to $$800$$ than to $$700$$, we have  
   $$
   784.3 \approx 800.
   $$

3. Multiply the rounded numbers:  
   $$
   2,000 \times 800 = 1,600,000.
   $$

Thus, the estimated product is  
$$
\boxed{1,600,000}.
$$
The estimated product is 1,600,000.
