Use compatible numbers to find two estimates for 42 divided by 396

1 answer:

7 0

42 ÷ 396
You could use 40 ÷ 400, which would give you 0.1 as an estimate.
You could also use 42 ÷ 420, which would also give you 0.1 as an estimate.

By the way, by a pair of "compatible numbers", it means when you can easily work out the sum by calculating the first digits multiplied or divided together, then add the zeros.

For example, with 40 ÷ 400, we know that
40 ÷ 40 is 1, so we just put the other 0 infront of the decimal point to make it 0.1.

If it was multiplying (2 x 600), you could work out 2 x 6 (12), then add the 0's to get 1,200

Let us calculate the median; the 6th observation is 20, so it is 20. We need the 6th observation so that out of the 11 observations we have 5 above the median and 5 below (or equal). We also have that then Q1 is the median of the lowest 5 observations, hence 19 (14,16,19,19,20, the 3rd observation is 19). Similarly, we get that the median for the upper half of the observations, Q3 namely, is 22 (21,21,22,22,23, the 3rd observation is 22). Thus, the interquartile range is 3=Q3-Q1. According to our calculations, all observations are wrong.
