In some calculations a combination of mental math and a calculator is most appropriate.

For example, because

200  97 146  5  97 146  200  5 
 97 146 1000,
we can calculate 97 146 on a calculator and then mentally multiply by 1000 . Show how
to calculate each of the following products using a combination of mental math and a
calculator.
a. 19  5 194  2
b. 379  4 193  25
c. 8  481  73 125
d. 374  200  893  50
