Question

Use compatible numbers to find two estimates that the quotient is in between 1,189 divided by 4

Answer 1

Answer:

297 and 298

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a number 1189.

We have to divide this number by 4 and find the quotient that is the two estimates between which the quotient lies.

By rule for divisibility of 4, we have last two digits 8 and 9 , i.e.89 is not divisible by 4.

Hence 1189 is not divisible by 4.

But the greatest below number divisible by 4 is 1188 and

the least above number divisible by 4 is 1192

i.e. the quotients will lie between 1188/4 and 1192/4

i.e. lie between 297 and 298.
