Question

Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient 82 divided by 5514

Answer 1

5514 is about 5600
82 is about 80

5600 divided by 80 = 70

Answer 2

`5514/ 82\approx 67`

Explanation:

We have been given a quotient of two numbers
`5514/ 82`. We are asked to estimate the quotient using comaptible numbers.

We need to find one number, whose product with 82 is approximately 5514.

We know that
`67* 82 =5494`, which is close to 5514, therefore, the quotient of given numbers would be approximately 67.
