Questions: Use compatible numbers to find an estimated range for the quotient.
5,615 ÷ 6
Transcript text: 3. Use compatible numbers to find an estimated range for the quotient.
\[
5,615 \div 6
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify Compatible Numbers
To estimate the quotient \(5,615 \div 6\), we look for numbers close to 5,615 that are easily divisible by 6. A good choice is 5,610 because it is close to 5,615 and divisible by 6.
Step 2: Perform the Division
Divide 5,610 by 6:
\[
5,610 \div 6 = 935
\]
Step 3: Determine the Range
Since 5,615 is slightly larger than 5,610, the actual quotient will be slightly larger than 935. Therefore, the estimated range for the quotient is:
\[
935 < \text{Quotient} < 936
\]
Final Answer
The estimated range for the quotient is:
\[
\boxed{935 < \text{Quotient} < 936}
\]
