Estimate the quotient 358 divided by3

Answer 1

Estimate the quotient of 358 divided by 3. Let’s start estimating without using calculator. => 358 = 300 + 50 + 8 Let’s have the 300 first. How many 3s are there in 300 => 300 / 3 = 100 – so there are 100 3s Next, let’s have the 50. How many 3s are there in 50 => 50 / 3 = 16 remainder 2. So let’s go to the last number the 8 + 2 remainder = 10 => How many 3s are there in 10? => 10 / 3 = 3 remainder 1 => 100 + 16 + 3 = 119 remainder 1 let’s check => 119 * 3 = 357 + 1 = 358
