when a 3- digit number is divided by 1-digit, the estimated quotient is 50. Think of two possible numbers that can give this quotient.

150/3

200/4

250/5

300/6

150

To find two possible numbers that can give a quotient of 50, we need to consider two scenarios where a 3-digit number is divided by a 1-digit number.

First, let's consider dividing a 3-digit number by 2. We want the estimated quotient to be 50. This means the actual quotient should be close to 50.

Since the quotient is an estimation, we can assume that the quotient is between 49 and 51. We can start by finding a 3-digit number that is divisible by 2 and then divide it by 2 to see if the quotient is close to 50. One possible number is 100, which is divisible by 2.

Dividing 100 by 2, we get:

100 ÷ 2 = 50.

In this case, the quotient is exactly 50.

Now let's consider dividing a different three-digit number by 2. Let's say we use 200 this time.

Dividing 200 by 2, we get:

200 ÷ 2 = 100.

In this case, the quotient is 100, not 50.

Therefore, one possible number that can give an estimated quotient of 50 when dividing by 2 is 100.

For the second scenario, let's consider dividing a 3-digit number by 5. Again, we want the estimated quotient to be 50.

We can assume that the quotient is between 49 and 51. We can start by finding a 3-digit number that is divisible by 5 and then divide it by 5 to see if the quotient is close to 50. One possible number is 500, which is divisible by 5.

Dividing 500 by 5, we get:

500 ÷ 5 = 100.

In this case, the quotient is 100, not 50.

Therefore, it seems that no possible three-digit number can give an estimated quotient of 50 when dividing by 5.

To summarize, one possible number that can give an estimated quotient of 50 when dividing by 2 is 100, but no possible three-digit number can give an estimated quotient of 50 when dividing by 5.

To find two possible numbers that can give an estimated quotient of 50 when divided by a 1-digit number, we need to consider the range of 3-digit numbers and divide them by different 1-digit numbers until we find two numbers that approximate a quotient of 50.

Let's start by considering the range of 3-digit numbers, which is from 100 to 999. We will divide each number by different 1-digit numbers and check their quotients.

1. 100 ÷ 2 = 50: This division satisfies the conditions, but 100 is not a 3-digit number.

Now, let's continue checking the other 3-digit numbers:

2. 101 ÷ 3 ≈ 33.67: This quotient is not close to 50.
3. 102 ÷ 4 ≈ 25.5: This quotient is not close to 50.
4. 103 ÷ 5 ≈ 20.6: This quotient is not close to 50.
5. 104 ÷ 6 ≈ 17.33: This quotient is not close to 50.
6. 105 ÷ 7 ≈ 15: This quotient is not close to 50.
7. 106 ÷ 8 ≈ 13.25: This quotient is not close to 50.
8. 107 ÷ 9 ≈ 11.89: This quotient is not close to 50.
9. 108 ÷ 1 = 108: This divisor satisfies the condition, but the quotient is not close to 50.

Continuing the process, we find that 158 ÷ 3 ≈ 52.67, which is closer to 50. Therefore, one possible number is 158.

Now let's find another number:

1. 200 ÷ 4 = 50: This division satisfies the conditions, and 200 is a 3-digit number.
2. 201 ÷ 5 ≈ 40.2: This quotient is not close to 50.

After checking a few more numbers, we find that 256 ÷ 5 ≈ 51.2, which is closer to 50. Therefore, another possible number is 256.

In conclusion, two possible numbers that can give an estimated quotient of 50 when divided by a 1-digit number are 158 and 256.
