Question

Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient394.6 divided by 9

Answer 1

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

As a first rough estimate:  divide 390  by 10, obtaining 39.

Another reasonable approximation could be obtained by dividing 450 by 9 and 360 by 9, obtaining 50 and 40.  Since 390 is roughly halfway between 360 and 450, estimate that the quotient is approx 45 (halfway between 40 and 50).
