estimate quotient and divide (how do you estimate the quotient?
552 divided by 71,520
I don't understand the steps.
idk dude
UGH JUST TELL ME THE ANSWER WEBSITE
To estimate the quotient, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Round the divisor and dividend: In this case, round the dividend (552) and the divisor (71,520) to a more manageable number. Let's round the dividend to 600 and the divisor to 70,000.
Step 2: Divide the rounded dividend by the rounded divisor: Divide 600 by 70,000 using long division or a calculator to get the estimated quotient.
So, the estimated quotient for 552 divided by 71,520 is approximately:
600 ÷ 70,000 = 0.0086
Now, let's calculate the actual quotient using long division to verify the estimate.
To divide 552 by 71,520:
0.00772
_________________
71,520 | 552 (1st step: Place 0 after the decimal in the quotient)
428 (2nd step: Divide 71,520 into 552, the result is 428)
3552
3570 (3rd step: Multiply the divisor by the quotient)
420 (4th step: Subtract the previous result from the dividend)
3570
420
0
The actual quotient is 0.00772 (rounded to five decimal places).
So, the estimated quotient is 0.0086, and the actual quotient is 0.00772 for 552 divided by 71,520.
700/7,000 = .1
500/7,000 = .5/7 = 1/14 about 1/15 about .06
so between .06 and .1 is around .08
