Math in My World

Example 1

During lunch, there were 144 students in the cafeteria. The cafeteria has a total of 16 tables. How many students can sit at each table?
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 1
Let s represent the number of students at each table. Write an equation to find the value of s.
___________ ÷ ____________ = s
1. Estimate by using compatible numbers. 140 ÷ 20 = ___________
2. Try the estimate
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 2
Since 32 > 16, the estimated digit is too low.

3. Adjust. Try 8.
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 2
Since 16 = 16, the estimated digit is too low.

4. Adjust again. Try 9.
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 2
So, 144 ÷ 16 = ____________. Since s = ____________, ____________ students can sit at each table.
Check for Reasonableness ____________ ≈ ____________

Answer: The quotient of 144 ÷ 16 = 9. Since s = 9. So 9 students can sit at each table.
For Chech Reasonableness is 7 is approximately equal to 9.
Explanation: Given that, the values are 144, 16.
Now, we will find the quotient value.
First, estimate the given values to nearest tens and hundreds.
The values 144 and 16 rounded to 140 and 20.
Now, divide it. We get the estimate values.
140/20 = 70.
Next, we will find the actual quotient.
McGraw-Hill-My-Math-Grade-5-Answer-Key-Chapter-4-Lesson-4-Adjust-Quotients-image-1i.png
The value 32 is greater than 16. So, the estimate is too low.
Try another estimate digit. The digit is 8.
McGraw-Hill-My-Math-Grade-5-Answer-Key-Chapter-4-Lesson-4-Adjust-Quotients-image-1ii.png
The value 16 = 16. So, the estimated digit is too low.
Next, the another estimated digit is 9.
McGraw-Hill-My-Math-Grade-5-Answer-Key-Chapter-4-Lesson-4-Adjust-Quotients-image-1.png
So, 144 is divided by 16, to get the quotient is 9.
Check reasonableness, 7 is approximately to 9.

Example 2

Find 1,252 ÷ 32.

1. Estimate by using compatible numbers
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 3
2. Try the estimate
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 4
Since 128 > 125, the estimated digit is too high.

3. Adjust. Try 3.
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 5
29 < 32 Continue dividing.

4. Bring down the 2 ones. Try 9.
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 5 Chapter 4 Lesson 4 Answer Key Adjust Quotients 6
4 < 32
So, 1,252 ÷ 32 = _____________ R _____________.
Check for Reasonableness ____________ R _____________ ≈ ____________

Answer: The quotient is 39 R 4.
For Chech Reasonableness is 39 R 4 is approximately equal to 40.
Explanation: Given that, the values are 1252, 35.
Now, we will find the quotient value.
First, estimate the given values to nearest tens and hundreds.
The values 1252 and 35 rounded to 1200 and 30.
Now, divide it. We get the estimate values.
1200/30 = 40.
Next, we will find the actual quotient.
McGraw-Hill-My-Math-Grade-5-Answer-Key-Chapter-4-Lesson-4-Adjust-Quotients-image-2i.png
Since, 128> 125. So, the estimated digit is too high.
Try with 3.
McGraw-Hill-My-Math-Grade-5-Answer-Key-Chapter-4-Lesson-4-Adjust-Quotients-image-2ii.png
The 29 is less than 32. So, we can continue the division.
McGraw-Hill-My-Math-Grade-5-Answer-Key-Chapter-4-Lesson-4-Adjust-Quotients-image-2.png
So, 1252 divided by 32, to get the quotient is 39 R 4.
Check reasonableness, 39 R 4 is approximately to 40.
