Answer 2

The first digit would go in the tens place.

Explanation:

First we estimate the approximate numbers. For 6130 we estimate 6000 and for 153 we estimate almost 150.

So dividing 6000 by 150 would give 40 .

The four would go in the ten's place .

Now check by dividing

40.1 So the answer is correct. The quotient is 40.12.

`153√(6139)`

612

190

153

37

The first digit would go in the tens place.

The answer is justified. We can easily decide where to place the first digit.
