260/17 lies between 15 and 16. The correct option is B.
Which statement is true?
To estimate this, let's take the denominator and multiply it by two consecutive integers, if 260 is between the two products, then the quotient 260/17 is also between these two values.
We can see that:
17*15 = 255
17*16 = 272
260 is between these, so 260/17 lies between 15 and 16.
