Question

2432divided by 55
​

Answer 1

Answer:

We will learn estimating the quotient.

In a division sum, when the divisor is made up of 2 digits or more than 2 digits, it helps if we first estimate the quotient and then try to find the actual number.

(i) Divide 84 by 21

Round the number to the nearest ten

84 ÷ 21 → 80 ÷ 20

Calculate mentally.

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Estimated quotient = 4
