Question

consider the expression 635,943÷77. complete the equation below by estimating the dividend and divisor in the expression to show that the quotient is about 8,000. ____÷____=8,000

Answer 1

We can round to the nearest thousand to get the following numerator:

`635,943\approx640,000`

and we can also round the denominator to get this:

`77\approx80`

so, the quotient would be:

`(635,943)/(77)\approx(640,000)/(80)=8000`
