In the same way as you estimate them for whole numbers.
To divide decimals the partial sums method requires that numbers are separated into individual portions. The separated numbers are then solved in long division until eliminated.

The basic idea is the same as when you estimate sums and differences of larger numbers (which may or may not be integers). You round the numbers to one or two decimal digits, then add them up.

decimals must be estimates unless they have multiples of 2 or 5 in the mantissa 1.857142857 + 2.142857142 =3.9999999999 estimate 4.00000000 1 6/7 + 2 1/7 = 4 exact 1.1250000000 + 2.875 = 4.000 +- only 3 significant digits so best estimate possible 1 1/8 + 2 7/8 = 4 exact

The two different pairs of decimals whose sums are 14.1 and one pair involves regrouping on math are 8.4 and 5.7.
to find a low estimate for the product of two decimals, round both factors

Decimals are estimated by rounding off the decimal places to the nearest tenths,hundredths,thousandths,ten thousandths,etc.
1.0 and 0.5
it means round to the nearest 100 ten or 1s
One way is to do front end estimation!
