Suppose at some point in your life you wanted to know the answer of 29 divided by 14. If you can estimate in your head that 30 divided by 15 is 2, you would expect the answer to be somewhere around two. Since 14 is a little less than half, you would expect the answer to be a little bit more than two. The actual answer of 29/14 is 2.07.

How can estimating quotient help you to place the decimal correctly?

If you have no clue about how decimals work then getting an estimate for the answer gives you an order of magnitude which can help in placing the decimal. But if you are even a bit clued up, estimating will not be necessary.


How does estimating the quotient help you place the first digot?

Example 617 divided by 6. If you estimate that 600 divided by 6 is 100, you know that the actual answer will have a 1 in the hundreds place.


Why estimate before you divide 624 and 6 help you place the first digit in the quotient?

An estimation, like 600 divided by 6, will show you that the answer should be around 100, not 10 or 1000.

Why should you estimate before you find the sum or difference of large numbers?

Because you will see that the sum or difference is close to your estimate. If it isn't that close, round the number you're estimating to the nearest compatible number and find the sum or difference Sum = Addition Difference = Subtraction Product = Multiplication Quotient = Division Does this answer help?
