Answer 1

Answer:

b)3.083... or 3.08

c)27.2608695652173913043478 or 27.3

Answer 2

(1) 985÷45 is approximately the same as 1000÷50 = 100÷5 = 20

(985=1000&45=50)

So the estimated quotient is 20

(3) 627 ÷ 23 is approximately the same as 600 ÷ 20 = 60 ÷ 2 = 30

(627 → 600 & 23 → 20)

So, the estimated quotient is 30.

Hope this helps....
