Explain how you could use compatible numbers to estimate 245/3. Then estimate the quotient
To use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient of 245/3, we can round both numbers to make them easier to work with mentally or manually.
For example, we can round 245 to 250, which is a multiple of 10. And we can round 3 to 0.
Now, we can divide 250 by 0. This is essentially the same as dividing by 10, since dividing by 0 gives us a very large number.
So, the estimated quotient would be 250/0 = infinity.
However, it is important to note that this is an estimation and the actual quotient of 245/3 is 81.67.
