Answer:
Negative 135 divided by negative 7 = 22.5
Explanation:
Estimating the quotient of :
–137.56 divided by –6.12
The compatible number which gives the best estimate ;
Negative 140 divided by negative 7 = 20
-140 ÷ - 7 = 20
Negative 140 divided by 6 = 23.3 with bar
-140 ÷ 6 = - 23.3
Negative 135 divided by negative 7 = 22.5
-135 ÷ - 7 = 22.5
Negative 135 divided by negative 5 = 27
-135 ÷ - 5 = 27
Comparing the result with the actual quotient obtained using the actual value;
–137.56 ÷ ( –6.12) = 22.477
Hence,
Negative 135 divided by negative 7 = 22.5
-135 ÷ - 7 = 22.5 gives the closest estimate.
