Estimating quotients gives an indication of the order of magnitude of the answer. That is, whether the answer is in units, or tens, or hundreds, thousands and so forth. Basic understanding of the placement of the decimal point should then be a trivial exercise.
Estimating quotients is like trying to guess how many slices of cake you'll get from a whole cake, while estimating products is like trying to figure out how much money you'll have after buying a certain number of cakes. In both cases, you're making an educated guess based on the numbers involved, but the end result is either a quotient (division) or a product (multiplication). So, in a nutshell, estimating quotients involves dividing and estimating products involves multiplying.
