How can i use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient of 925 divided by 29?
31.8966
What are 2 compatible numbers for 308.3 divided by 15?
Oh, dude, like, the compatible numbers for 308.3 divided by 15 would be 300 divided by 15, which is 20, and 8.3 divided by 15, which is approximately 0.55. So, yeah, those are the compatible numbers for that division problem. Cool, right?
What do they mean when they say estimate each quotient write the compatible numbers you used?
Suppose you are asked to evaluate a quotient like 923/462. You have several options. You could choose 900 and 500 as compatible numbers for the two given numbers and then your estimated quotient would be 900/500 = 1.8. Or You could choose 920 and 460 as the compatible numbers for them and then your estimated quotient would be 920/460 = 2.0. So the question is essentially, what compatible numbers did you pick and using them, what was the quotient. There is no correct answer to picking compatible numbers. Any estimation is a trade-off between simplicity and accuracy. Incidentally, a more accurate answer is 1.9978 (approx), but even that is not perfect!
What is the quotient of negative numbers being divided?
The quotient will be positive.
