what is the estimated quotient of 6 divided into 75?
12?
I have 12 with a remainder of 3. my teacher wants us to round and estimate. please help! do I round it to 7 divided by 70?
I disagree with your teacher.
You should know that 6 times 12 is 72. That's why I estimated that 75 divided by 6 is about 12.
For me, 10 is too far off to be a good estimate.
thank you ms. sue.my mom said the same thing.
You're welcome. :-)
To calculate the estimated quotient of 6 divided into 75, you can round both numbers to the nearest ten and then perform the division.
Step 1: Round 6 to the nearest ten
Since 6 is already a single-digit number, it is already rounded to the nearest ten.
Step 2: Round 75 to the nearest ten
Going from the rightmost digit, which is 5, the next digit is less than 5. So we keep 70 as the nearest ten.
Step 3: Divide the rounded numbers
Divide 70 by 6. The quotient is the estimated answer.
70 ÷ 6 = 11.66 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the estimated quotient of 6 divided into 75 is approximately 11.66.
