Compatible numbers are also considered as estimates numbers.
Now the given equation is 2 242 / 33
=> Let’s find the compatible number to find the estimate quotient
=> 2 242 – 2 = 2 240
=> 33 + 2 = 35
=> 2 240 / 35
=> 62, this is the estimated quotient
The correct answer is:
=> 2 242 / 33
=> 67.94, the exact answer.
62 and 67.94 is not exactly the same but close. That’s how estimation works.
