Question

Find the two numbers the quotient is between. Then estimate the quotient. 75 divided by 4

Answer 1

The quotient will be between 18 and 19.

Estimated quotient will be 18.75

Explanation:

The closest number to 75 which is divisible by 4 and less than 75 is : 72 and

the closest number to 75 which is divisible by 4 and greater than 75 is : 76

Now,
`72 / 4= 18` and
`76/ 4= 19`

That means, the quotient for
`(75/4)` will be between 18 and 19.

As, 75 is 1 less than 76, so the quotient will be
`(1)/(4)` or
`0.25` less than 19.

So, the quotient will be:
`19-0.25= 18.75`
