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.

he books in a private library are classified as fiction and nonfiction. There are 400 books in the library. There are 40 more fi

First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>
