EXAMPLE: 8  x  2.12 = ?

Step 1: Use rounding to change the numbers into "easy" numbers that you know the facts for.

(8  x  2 = 16)

Step 2: Use the estimated product to help you figure out where to put the decimal in your final product. (The answer should be in the tens.)

Step 3: Multiply the real numbers without the decimal.

Step 4: Use your estimated product (16) to tell you where to put the decimal (16.96).
