Question

Which is closest to the quotient 4,367 ÷ 0.004 A. 1,000 B. 10,000 C. 100,000 D. 1,000,000 explain how you got the answer pls btw 6th grade

Answer 1

D) 1,000,000

Explanation:

Here it is.

Answer 2

The answer is D. 1,000,000

A calculator would answer this, but i’m assuming your asked to make a estimate without a calculator. An easier way to look at dividing by fractions would be multiplying by its reciprocal

Since this fraction is .004 or 4/1000 the reciprocal would be 1000/4, or 250.

Since 250 times 4,367 is still a relatively hard multiplication problem. I would just make the 250, 200.

Now that the problem is simplified, a trick when multiplying any number divisible by 10, is to take the zeros out, multiply the number, then add them back.

So 4,367 x 2 = about 8,600, then adding two 0s from the 200, that is now 860,000.

Looking at the answers the closest to this is 1,000 so the answer is D
