It's approximately 9000.

Explanation:

You can see that 297 is significantly close to 300, and 32 is significantly close to 30. This is to say that if you round each value to the nearest tenth, you'd get 300 and 30.

297~~300297≈300 and 32~~3032≈30

therefore 297 * 32 ~~ 9000 because 300 * 30 = 9000
