Answer:
Word problem based that can be solved using multiples to estimate the quotient:
Melissa made 326 cupcakes. She packed four cupcakes into each box. How many boxes of cupcakes did she pack? How many cupcakes were left unpacked?
Answer:
Let us consider,
The problem: 'Find two numbers between which the quotient of 50 ÷ 7 lies'.
Solution: We will solve this in two steps.
Step 1: Form a table of multiples of 7.
Counting number Multiple of 7
1 7
2 14
3 21
4 28
5 35
6 42
7 49
8 56
Step 2: Use the table to find the multiples closest to 50.
Since, 49 = 7 × 7 and 56 = 7 × 8
Thus, 50 lies between 49 and 56.
Then, the quotient is either 7 or 8.
As 50 is closest to 49.
Hence, the quotient of 50 ÷ 7 is 7.
