Which of the following is closest to 27.8 x 9.6? 280 300 2,800 3,000

The correct answer is - 280.

To get to the answer we have to first multiply the given numbers with one another.

27.8 x 9.6 = 266.88

Than we have to see who are the differences between the result we got and the other numbers, the smallest difference means it is the closest number.

280 - 266.88 = 13.12

300 - 266.88 = 33.12

2800 - 266.88 = 2533.12

3000 - 266.88 = 2733.12

Since the result of the multiplying is 266.88, than the closest number of the suggested ones is 280, with only 13.12 the difference between the two. All of the other suggested numbers have bigger differences, thus they are further away from the result.
