Use compatible number to find two estimate 2,242:33

Compatible numbers are also considered as estimates numbers.

Now the given equation is 2 242 / 33

=> Let’s find the compatible number to find the estimate quotient

=> 2 242 - 2 = 2 240

=> 33 + 2 = 35

=> 2 240 / 35

=> 62, this is the estimated quotient

The correct answer is:

=> 2 242 / 33

=> 67.94, the exact answer.

62 and 67.94 is not exactly the same but close. That’s how estimation works.
