Estimating Quotients with Decimals

This document provides instruction on estimating quotients involving decimals. It begins with a review of estimating sums and differences. It then presents an example word problem about estimating how many pencils Mario can buy with Php100, estimating the quotient by rounding the divisor to the nearest whole number. The document goes on to demonstrate other methods of estimating quotients, such as rounding the dividend, rounding both the dividend and divisor, or using compatible numbers that can be easily divided. Students are provided practice problems and instructed that to estimate quotients they can round values or use compatible numbers.

STUDY AND LEARN

Study the given word problem to guide you with the lesson.

Mario has a Php100-peso bill. He wants to buy a pencil which costs


4.75 each. About how many pencils can he buy?

What is asked in the problem? The estimated number of pencils


Mario can buy.

What are given? Php100 and Php4.75

How are you going to solve it? Estimate and divide

To find an estimate, we round off the divisor.

Php100 ÷ Php4.75 = n

100 ÷ 5 = 20

So, Php100 can buy at least 20 pencils.

To estimate a quotient, we can round off the divisor and/or the dividend to
a whole number or to a multiple of 10. We may also round off one of them and use
compatible numbers. Compatible numbers are numbers that can be computed
easily.

In the above example, we estimate the quotient by rounding off the


divisor. In the next examples, you are going to learn how to estimate the quotient
by using other ways.

When using compatible numbers, we do not round up or round down a number. We look for
two numbers closest to the two given numbers so that dividing them will give an exact result.

TRY THESE

Do these in your notebook.

A. Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient.

1) 0.89 6.44 2) 7.4 62.4 3) 38.7 211.69

B. Estimate the quotient.


a) 240 ÷ 6.43 b) 26.9 ÷ 3 c) 48.29 ÷ 12.107

d) 300 ÷ 24.75 e) 631.92 ÷ 32.84

WRAP UP

To estimate a quotient…

- Round off the divisor and/or the dividend to a whole number or


to a multiple of 10.
- Use compatible numbers for easy computation.

ON YOUR OWN

Use any of the ways learned in finding the estimated quotient. Put your solutions
and answers in your paper.
1) 9 18.4 2) 7.84 63.92 3) 12.5 320
