Holly checked her answer to a division problem by estimating the quotient. Which is the best estimation of the quotient?
5.97 divided by 23.564

a)4
b)5
c)6
d)7

Respuesta :

The answer is A. "4."

5.97 can be rounded to 6, and 23.564 can be rounded to 24.
24÷6=4
5.97 rounds to 6.
23.564 rounds to 24.
6 divided by 24 is 1/4.
The answer to your question is 1/4.
No answer is even close to that.

Perhaps what you meant was 23.564 divided by 5.97.
Then an estimate of the answer is 4, and choice a) is the correct answer.
