Estimate the quotient to the nearest tens. 163 – 14 (A) 10 (B) 16 (C) 20 (D) 18 ———-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To solve the problem, we need to estimate the quotient of the expression<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

163 \u00f7 14<\/strong>,<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

and round the result to the nearest tens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Estimate the quotient<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s do the division:163\u00f714\u224811.64163 \u00f7 14 \u2248 11.64163\u00f714\u224811.64<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Round to the nearest tens<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, round 11.64 to the nearest tens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The number 11.64<\/strong> is closer to 10<\/strong> than to 20.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • So, rounding 11.64 to the nearest tens gives:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    10\\boxed{10}10\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \u2705 Correct Answer: (A) 10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    \u270f\ufe0f Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To solve this type of problem, the goal is to estimate the quotient<\/strong>, which means we\u2019re looking for an approximate result of division, not the exact one. In this case, the problem is asking us to estimate 163 \u00f7 14<\/strong> and round that result to the nearest tens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We begin by recognizing that 163<\/strong> is a three-digit number and 14<\/strong> is a two-digit number. We ask ourselves: How many times does 14 fit into 163?<\/em> An exact division gives us 163 \u00f7 14 \u2248 11.64<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The next step is rounding this number to the nearest tens. When rounding to the nearest tens, we look at the ones digit<\/strong> (in this case, 1.64 has a tens part of 10 and a decimal part of 1.64). The number 11.64<\/strong> is closer to 10<\/strong> than to 20<\/strong> on the number line. Here’s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 10 is the nearest multiple of 10 below 11.64.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 20 is the next multiple of 10 above.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Since 11.64 is less than halfway between 10 and 20, we round it down<\/strong> to 10<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Estimation like this is especially useful in real-life situations when an exact number isn\u2019t necessary, such as budgeting or planning. It helps you make quicker decisions without a calculator. Always remember that when estimating and rounding, focus on which multiple of ten the number is closest to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, the correct answer is (A) 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
