Question 1 Report

By writing each number correct to 1 significant figure, estimate the value of \(\frac{39 \times 21}{4.1}\).

Answer Details

Rounding each value to 1 significant figure before calculating gives a quick, sensible estimate: \(39 \to 40\), \(21 \to 20\), \(4.1 \to 4\).

\(\frac{40 \times 20}{4}\) [M1]

\(= \frac{800}{4} = 200\) [A1]
