Question

I need help with this problem Estimate the quotient by rounding the expression 1275 ÷ 588 ≈ _

Answer 1

Round 1275 down to 1200.

Round 588 up to 600.

We now have 1200 ÷ 600 = 2.

Done.

Answer 2

1275/588 -> 1200/600=2

Explanation:

1275 is pretty close to 1200 and 588 is pretty close to 600, so you could do 1200/600 which is 2.
