776/28 use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient
Answer:
Using compatible numbers the estimate quotient is 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Quotient, \(\frac{776}{28}\)
To find : Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient ?
Solution :
Compatible numbers are pairs of numbers that are easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally.
When using estimation to approximate a calculation, replace actual numbers with compatible numbers.
Now, \(\frac{776}{28}=27.1\)
Using Compatible numbers,
Estimate 776 as 780
Estimate 28 as 30.
So, \(\frac{780}{30}=26\)
Therefore, Using compatible numbers the estimate quotient is 26.
