53/3=17.66. This number is between 17 and 18 but closest to 18 so the answer of the estimation of the quotient is 18.

We can test various whole numbers and multiply them by 3 to see how close we can get to 53. 17 multiplied by 3 is 51, while 18 multiplied by 3 is 54. Since 53 is between 51 and 54, this means that 53/3 is between 17 and 18.
Furthermore, since 53 is closer to 54 than to 51, dividing it by 3 would put it closer to 18 than to 17.
