Estimating the quotient by rounding 7,243 to 7,200 and 82 to 80, dividing yields 90. This simplifies the calculation, resulting in an estimated quotient of 90.
To estimate the quotient by rounding each number to the underlined place value and then dividing:
7,243 (2 is underlined) divided by 82 (8 is underlined).
Rounding each number to the underlined place value:
7,243 becomes 7,200 (since the underlined digit is 2).
82 becomes 80 (since the underlined digit is 8).
Now, divide 7,200 by 80:
7,200 divided by 80 is 90.
So, the estimated quotient is 90.
In summary , estimating the quotient by rounding 7,243 to 7,200 and 82 to 80, the division becomes 7,200 divided by 80, resulting in an estimated quotient of 90.
