Question

Estimate the quotient of 41 ÷ 7.94.

4
5
6
7

Answer 1

8 times 5 is 40 so the best estimate should be 5

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

Since 7 into 42 is six we know the answer can't be 7 because it's too high. We can also rule out 6 because 6 times 7.94 is more than 41. The first answer choice is wrong because if you take away the .94, 7 times 4 is 28 which is pretty far from 41. If you multiply 5 and 7, it comes out to 35. That's significantly closer than four.

Hope this helps! :)
