Answer:
Hence, the estimated quotient is:
[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}=0.75[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to estimate the quotient that is obtained by dividing 6.1 by 8.
We know that 6.1 is close to 6 hence we substitute the dividend by 6 instead of 6.1 and the divisor is 8.
so on evaluating the expression:
[tex]\dfrac{6}{8}[/tex]
As we know that both the numerator and denominator has the greatest common factor as 2. hence we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 to obtain:
[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}=0.75[/tex]
Hence, the estimated quotient is:
[tex]\dfrac{3}{4}=0.75[/tex]
