Question

Round the numbers to estimate the quotient. 29 1/5÷4 6/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

29 / 5 = 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To round a mixed number to the nearest whole number, simply look at the fraction part.

If the fraction is more than one half, round up.

If this fraction is less than one half, round down.

In the number 29 1/5, 1/5 is LESS than one half, so we round down.

In the number 4 6/7, is 6/7 is MORE than one half, so we round up.

29 1/5 rounded to the nearest whole number is 29.

4 6/7 rounded to the nearest whole number is 7.

And, 29/7 = 5.8

Therefore, the estimated quotient is 5.8.
