To find the product of 0.8 x 0.6, alison used this model. which statement explains how she most likely used this model to find the correct answer most efficiently?

Model used is

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the product of 0.8x0.6 using the known identities

We find that both numbers are near to 1.

Hence x can be taken as 1

We know that

can be used here making x = 1 and a =-0.2 and b=-0.4

The product becomes

THus we find easily using the mdoel that answer is 0.48
