Question

Find the two numbers the quotient is between. Then estimate the quotient. 75 divided by 4

Answer 1

Answer:

The quotient will be between 18 and 19.

Estimated quotient will be 18.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The closest number to 75 which is divisible by 4 and less than 75 is :  72  and

the closest number to 75 which is divisible by 4 and greater than 75 is :   76

Now,  $72 \div 4= 18$ and $76\div 4= 19$

That means, the quotient for $(75\div4)$ will be between 18 and 19.

As, 75 is 1 less than 76, so the quotient will be $\frac{1}{4}$ or $0.25$ less than 19.

So, the quotient will be:  $19-0.25= 18.75$
