Question 18.
? Building on the Essential Question Why is it important to know how to estimate quotients?
Answer:
Estimation is used to compare the estimated quotient with the exact value of the quotient.
We can determine if an answer to a division problem is reasonable or not easily.
Explanation:
To estimate the quotient, we first round off the divisor and the dividend to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then divide the rounded numbers.
In a division sum, when the divisor is made up of 2 digits or more than 2 digits,
it helps to estimate the quotient and then try to find the actual number.
