A stadium has 42 rows of 26 seats each. About how many seats does the stadium hold?

Correct answer to question 124 (Arithmetic Reasoning): About 1,100 seats

Method

Round both figures to numbers that multiply easily: 42 rounds to 40 and 26 rounds to 25, and 40 x 25 = 1,000. The exact count, 42 x 26 = 1,092, is closest to 1,100.
