Question

776/28 use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient

Answer 1

780 divided by 30=26. this is an estimate

Answer 2

Using compatible numbers the estimate quotient is 26.

Explanation:

Given : Quotient,
`(776)/(28)`

To find : Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient ?

Solution :

Compatible numbers are pairs of numbers that are easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally.

When using estimation to approximate a calculation, replace actual numbers with compatible numbers.

Now,
`(776)/(28)=27.1`

Using Compatible numbers,

Estimate 776 as 780

Estimate 28 as 30.

So,
`(780)/(30)=26`

Therefore, Using compatible numbers the estimate quotient is 26.
