Final answer:

To find the division problem with an estimated quotient of 3.5, we compare the rounded division results of the given options.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the division problem that would have an estimated quotient of 3.5 if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number, we need to look for a pair of numbers where the rounded division result is close to 3.5.

Calculating the estimated quotients:

  1. For option 1: 28 ÷ 8 = 3.5
  2. For option 2: 70 ÷ 21 = 3.33
  3. For option 3: 22 ÷ 6 = 3.67
  4. For option 4: 56 ÷ 15 = 3.73

Therefore, the division problem that would have an estimated quotient of 3.5 if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number is 15.47 ÷ 56.4.
