A shopping mall has \u20b94,452 to spend on new tiles for the floor. If each tile costs \u20b97, about how many tiles can the mall buy? Choose the better estimate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a} 600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b} 300<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Divide the total amount of money by the cost of each tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4,452 \u00f7 7 = ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a compatible number to estimate the quotient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4,452 \u00f7 7 = ?
4,200 \u00f7 7 = 600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

600 tiles is the better estimate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A school needs to buy 710 pencils for its students. If the pencils come in packages of 9, about how many packages should the school buy? Choose the better estimate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a} 80<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b} 30<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Divide the number of pencils by the number in each package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

710 \u00f7 9 = ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a compatible number to estimate the quotient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

710 \u00f7 9 = ?
720 \u00f7 9 = 80<\/p>\n\n\n\n

80 packages is the better estimate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Estimate the product. Round each factor to the nearest ten, then multiply.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

61 \u00d7 28<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The product is approximately ______ .<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Round the first factor to the nearest ten.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Round the second factor to the nearest ten.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Now multiply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

60 \u00d7 30 = 1,800<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The product is approximately 1,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compare your estimate to the exact answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

61 \u00d7 28 = 1,708<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let’s practice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
