Mental Math and Estimating Quotients

Answer Key

Directions: Use mental math to solve for the quotients.

2. 270 3 = 90 2. 4,500 5 = 900

4. 3,600 9 = 400 4. 24,000 6= 4,000

6. 630 7 = 90 6. 4,800 8 = 600

Directions: Estimate each quotient using compatible

numbers. (answers may vary)

8. 340 5 = 70 8. 263 9 = 30

10. 2,200 3 = 700 10. 4,387 7 = 600

12. 765 4 = 200 12. 196 6 = 30

***Challenge: Create a division problem that when using

compatible numbers to estimate you would get the quotient
500. (possible answer: 2,473 5)

__________ ____ = 500
