To estimate the quotients, round the dividend and the divisor to the highest place value and use the compatible numbers for the dividend to divide. This will make your estimated quotient reasonable.

Step 1

362 divided by 9: - Round 362 to the nearest ten, which is 360. - Round 9 to the nearest ten, which is 10. - Divide 360 by 10, which equals 36. - So, the estimated quotient is 36. B. 496 divided by 50: - Round 496 to the nearest hundred, which is 500. - Round 50 Show more…
