Question

lets play \close, closer, closest!\
round 2: estimate each product to find the correct expression.
which expression is closer to 300?
$3 \times 13$ $5 \times 63$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate first product

$3 \times 13 = 39$

Step2: Find distance from 300

$|39 - 300| = 261$

Step3: Calculate second product

$5 \times 63 = 315$

Step4: Find distance from 300

$|315 - 300| = 15$

Step5: Compare distances

$15 < 261$

Answer:

$5 \times 63$
