Question

Round each mixed number to the nearest whole number. Then, estimate the quotient


`24 (16)/(17) / 4 (8)/(9)`
​

Answer 1

Quotient = 5

Explanation:

Step 1

Round each mixed number to the nearest whole number

a) 24 16/17 = 424/17

= 24.941176471

Approximately to the nearest whole number ≈ 25

b) 4 8/9 = 44/9

= 4.8888888889

Approximately to the nearest whole number ≈ 5

Next step we estimate the quotient

Quotient = Dividend ÷ Divisor

Dividend = 25

Divisor = 5

Quotient = 25 ÷ 5

= 5

Therefore, the quotient is 5
