Question

776/28 use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient

Answer 1

780 divided by 30=26. this is an estimate

Answer 2

Answer:

Using compatible numbers the estimate quotient is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quotient, $\frac{776}{28}$

To find : Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient ?

Solution :

Compatible numbers are pairs of numbers that are easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally.

When using estimation to approximate a calculation, replace actual numbers with compatible numbers.

Now,  $\frac{776}{28}=27.1$

Using Compatible numbers,

Estimate 776 as 780

Estimate 28 as 30.

So, $\frac{780}{30}=26$

Therefore, Using compatible numbers the estimate quotient is 26.
