Question

Which quotient is reasonable? Do not perform the division. 7315 ÷ 12 A. 6 R 9 B. 60 R 9 C. 609 D. 6,009

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 609

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, 4-digits number were given to be divided by a 2-digits number. Without performing the division, it is only reasonable to say that the quotient will be a 3-digits number.

In the given options, the only 3-digits number is 609

Also, you can multiply 609 by 12 to check how reasonable your guess is.

⇒ 609 x 12 = 7308

The difference between 7315 and 7308 is 7.

The remaining number (7) is not up to 12 and when 7 is divided by 12 it will not give a whole number digit.

Therefore, the only reasonable quotient in the given options is 609.
