Math Blog on Estimating Quotients

Previously we have discussed about measures of central tendency worksheets and In today's session we are going to discuss about Estimating quotients of numbers which is  a part of board of secondary education ap, Its defined by some rules that help the students in understanding how to estimate quotients .The rules for defining the estimate the quotient are as follows with their examples:
Rule no 1 # Decimal number is rounded to the nearest whole number means if the decimal number is approximately equal or near to the its nearest whole number then it will change into that whole number .
Example : 5 . 9 / 3 = ?
6 / 3 = 2 so 5 . 9 / 3 is near about to 2.
Rule no 2 # Decimal number(learn how to divide decimals) may be renamed means if the decimal number is not exactly calculated in terms of easier calculation then it will be change into its close decimal number that makes the calculations easy.(Know more about Quotients in broad manner, here,)
Example : 2 .8 / 3 = ?
2 .7 is easily divided by the 3 that is equal to the .9 so rename the 2 .8 into the 2 .7 to make the calculation more easy and fast so in place of 2 .8 / 3 we can write 2 .7 / 3 = 0 .9 .
Rule no 3 # Division problems can be rewrite as Multiplication problems .
Example : 7 .7 / 6 = ?
6 * _ = 6 .0
6 * 1 .0 = 6 .0
6 * 1 .1 = 6 .6
6 * 1. 5 = 9 .0
Here 7 .7 / 6 is lies in between 1 .1 and 1. 5 that is near about 1 .3 .
Rule no 4 # When divide the number by 10 , 1000 , 1000 or 10000 and so on move the digits of the number to the right side by one , two or three places .
Example : 554 / 10 = 55 .4
554 / 100 = 5 .54
554 / 1,000 = 0 .554
554 / 10,000 = 0 .0554
