Alright, to get this answer, what we need to do first is round. Because 63.52 is close to 64, and 7.9 is close to 8, we can change this problem from 63.52 divided by 7.9 to 64 divided by 8, which is a far easier question to do without a calculator. When we do 64 divided by 8, we get 8, which should be pretty close to the answer of 63.52 divided by 7.9.
