B Correct answer
Explanation

4451 * 786 is approx 4500 * 800 = 3,600,000. 3,600,000 / 500 = 7200. Option B (7030) is the closest approximation.

AI explanation

Using the approximation method, we round the values to 4450 multiplied by 790 plus 450, which gives 3515500. Setting this equal to the unknown multiplied by 500 and dividing both sides by 500 results in 7031. This makes 7030 the closest approximate value.
