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!
(x + y)/20
The expression ( \frac{7}{14} ) simplifies to ( \frac{1}{2} ). The quotient ( \frac{1}{2} ) is between the consecutive whole numbers 0 and 1.
If you mean 81/3 then the quotient is 27
1/2
You cannot write the quotient itself as an equation, but you can express a division operation and use an equation to express that the result of this operation (the quotient) is a specific value. For example, 16/8 =2.

Write down four pairs of numbers with a quotient of 12.1.) 12 divided by 12.) 24 divided by 23.) 60 divided by 54.) 36 divided by 3
(x + y)/20
you write the multiples of a number and pick the two closest ones
The expression ( \frac{7}{14} ) simplifies to ( \frac{1}{2} ). The quotient ( \frac{1}{2} ) is between the consecutive whole numbers 0 and 1.
If you mean 81/3 then the quotient is 27
1/2
To convert a decimal number to binary, you divide the decimal number by 2 and write down the remainder. Then, divide the quotient by 2 and write down the remainder again. Repeat this process until the quotient is 0. The binary number is the remainders read in reverse order.
You cannot write the quotient itself as an equation, but you can express a division operation and use an equation to express that the result of this operation (the quotient) is a specific value. For example, 16/8 =2.
You could write it as 5555555555555/1.
To write the quotient of 16 and a number, you can represent the unknown number with a variable, such as ( x ). The expression for the quotient would then be ( \frac{16}{x} ). This indicates that 16 is being divided by the variable ( x ).
555 / 12: quotient = 46, remainder = 3
