How can you find a multiple of 45 closest to 8000?

Answer 1

Oh, what a happy little math problem we have here! To find a multiple of 45 closest to 8000, we can divide 8000 by 45 to get 177.777777. Since we can't have a fraction of a multiple, we can round this down to 177. Multiplying 45 by 177 gives us 7965, which is the multiple of 45 closest to 8000.

Answer 2

Well, darling, to find a multiple of 45 closest to 8000, you divide 8000 by 45 to get approximately 177.777. Now, since we're looking for the closest multiple, you round that down to 177. Finally, you multiply 45 by 177 to get the closest multiple of 45 to 8000, which is 7965. Voila!

Answer 3

I'm sure there is some mathematical way to do it, but since I knew 9000 is a multiple of 45, I subtracted 45 enough times to get close. The answer is 8010. We used to call that trial and error, but I think it's now called guess and check.
