You can get a "feel" for the answer by doing it this way:
.
29 7/8 is a little less than 30
.
5 1/16 is a little more than 5
.
You can multiply 30 times 5 rapidly to get an answer of 150. So you can estimate that if
you multiply (29 7/8) times (5 1/16) you will get an answer of about 150.
.
The actual answer you get by multiplying (29 7/8) times (5 1/16) is 151 31/128. So your estimated
answer is fairly close.
.
Hope this helps you to get a feel for estimating answers.
