Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The answer is A. "4."

5.97 can be rounded to 6, and 23.564 can be rounded to 24.
24÷6=4
