Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient. 256.1 divide by 82. My answer is 240 divide by 40 = 3.
Do you mean 240/80 = 3? If so, your answer is correct.
Can you help me with the answer for 240÷40
😶!
that is not good but try agian
Hello for the question it would be 240 divided by 80 = 3 hope that answers your question.
To use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient, you can round the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number dividing the dividend) to numbers that are easy to work with.
In this case, rounding 256.1 to the nearest whole number gives us 256. Rounding 82 to the nearest multiple of 10 gives us 80.
Now, divide the rounded numbers: 256 divided by 80.
Dividing 256 by 80 gives us 3.2.
So, using compatible numbers, the estimated quotient for 256.1 divided by 82 would be 3.
