Question

Estimate the following quotients.

e) $5,702÷310$

Answer 1

Here, first we round off the dividend and the divisor to their highest place.

So, $5,702$ is rounded off to $6,000$

$310$ is rounded off to $300$

Divide the round-off digits: $$\begin{gathered} 6,000÷300 \\ =20 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, estimate will be $20$
