Which of the following Numbers is the best compatible number for estimating the quotient of 648 divided by 7?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The compatible numbers are 630 and 14. The quotient is about 92. The quotient is  [tex]92\frac{4}{7}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The dividend is 648 and the divisor is 7.

The number 630 is a compatible number because product of 7 and 9 is 63.

So, 648 can be written as

[tex]648=630+18[/tex]

The number 14 is a compatible number because product of 7 and 2 is 14. So, 648 can be written as

[tex]648=630+14+4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{648}{7}=\frac{630+14+4}{7}=90+2+\frac{4}{7}=92+\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Therefore the compatible numbers are 630 and 14. The quotient is  [tex]92\frac{4}{7}[/tex].
