Not necessarily: for example, consider 0.5 * 4 = 2
What can you find how finding a whole number estimate before your multiply the decimal can help you make sure your decimal placement is correct?
Not really.If you are competent in using the basic operations of arithmetic (+ - * /) and follow the riles as these apply to decimal numbers then the decimal point will be correctly placed and finding a whole number estimate will only mean additional calculations which serve no purpose. On the other hand, if you are not that competent then how can you be sure that the whole number estimate that you find is accurate?
