Answer: an appropriate estimate for
62372 ÷ 29 is 2000
Step-by-step explanation:
If we divide 62372 by 29, it becomes
62372/29 = 2150.7586207
It can be approximated to the nearest whole number which becomes 2151 because the digit immediately after the decimal point is greater than 5.
We can also approximate it to the nearest thousand. The digit in the thousand position is 2 while 1 is in the hundred position, 5 is in the ten position and the last one is in the unit position.
Since 1 in the hundred position is lesser than 5, approximation to the nearest thousand becomes 2000.
