Holly checked her answer to a division problem by estimating the quotient. Which is the best estimation of the quotient?

5.97 divided by 23.564

a) 4

b) 5

c) 6

d) 7

The answer is A. "4."

5.97 can be rounded to 6, and 23.564 can be rounded to 24.

24:6=4

5.97 rounds to 6.

23.564 rounds to 24.

6 divided by 24 is 1/4.

The answer to your question is 1/4.

No answer is even close to that.

Perhaps what you meant was 23.564 divided by 5.97.

Then an estimate of the answer is 4, and choice a) is the correct answer.
