Final answer:

When multiplying 5 by 328, compensation is a more suitable method for finding the product as it involves adjusting one of the numbers to simplify the calculation.


Explanation:

Compensation would be better to find the product of 5 x 328. Compensation involves adjusting one of the numbers to make the calculation easier. In this case, you can adjust 328 to 330 for easier multiplication.

To find the product:

  1. 5 x 330 = 1650
  2. Then, adjust for the initial change: 1650 - (5 x 2) = 1650 - 10 = 1640
