Question

Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient 252÷3

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the given expression is 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{252}{3}$

The number 252 can be written as 240+12, because 24 can easily divisible by 3.

The compatible numbers are 240 and 12

$\frac{252}{3}=\frac{240+12}{3}$

$\frac{252}{3}=\frac{240}{3}+\frac{12}{3}$

$\frac{252}{3}=80+4$

$\frac{252}{3}=84$

Therefore the value of the given expression is 84.
