Find the quotient of 31,017 ÷ 49 and then show how you would estimate the problem.

62331,000 ÷ 50 = 620
64331,000 ÷ 50 = 620
62330,000 ÷ 50 = 600
63330,000 ÷ 50 = 600

what did you get for  the quotient ?

anonymous · Answer

633

triciaal · Answer

correct

anonymous · Answer

but what do i do after that do i estimate 633 into 630 and divide that by 49 to get 50?

triciaal · Answer

do you see 49 is close to 50
if you divide by a higher number the quotient is less

do you see

Could you post a screenshot of this question?

what do u mean

anonymous · Answer

should it be d?

triciaal · Answer

i think you have the original wrong   
31, 017 * 2  =  62,034 but you have thousand, thousand

The question and the answer choices are not clear to me.  I'd like to see the original question.  If it is online, you can take a screenshot and post the original problem.  If it is in a book you can take a picture and upload it.

anonymous · Answer

that is the question and answer but what im trying to ask is how would u estimate to find the answer

aum · Answer

If I were asked to estimate 31,017 ÷ 49
I would say 31,017 ÷ 49 is approximately equal to 31,000 ÷ 50 = 
2 * 31,000 / 100 = 2 * 310 = 620  (estimate).

But the answer choices does not make sense to me.

anonymous · Answer

same with me i dont get them

Can you just post a pic of the question just to see if there is something you are overlooking?

triciaal · Answer

did you check the original?

anonymous · Answer

this is the original

triciaal · Answer

well I really don't know.
" Find the quotient of 31,017 ÷ 49 and then show how you would estimate the problem." 
It appears like the problem to estimate is not even there then the rest is just the choices for what a person would get  when the estimate is figured.

anonymous · Answer

well thanks for trying but this is soooo confusing

triciaal · Answer

dividing by 49 is close to dividing by 50 so that part is very clear
the number to divide I thought it would be 2 * 31017  but the number you have is 62034000. I really still think the problem to estimate is actually not there.   sorry

anonymous · Answer

633
