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

How you can tell before you divide 425 by 9 that the first digit of the quotient is in the ten place?

425 is less than 100*9 = 900 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the hundreds (or higher) place. 425 is greater than (or equal to) 10*9 = 90 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the units (or lower) place. That only leaves the tens place.
