Solution Steps

To estimate the product of decimal numbers, round each factor to the nearest whole number and then multiply the rounded numbers. This will give an approximate value of the product.

Step 1: Round the Numbers

We start with the numbers \( 0.625 \) and \( 16.121 \). Rounding each to the nearest whole number gives: \[ \text{Rounded } 0.625 \approx 1 \] \[ \text{Rounded } 16.121 \approx 16 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Estimated Product

Next, we multiply the rounded numbers: \[ \text{Estimated Product} = 1 \times 16 = 16 \]

Final Answer

The product is approximately \( \boxed{16} \).
