Estimating answers is really easy and now I am going to teach you how to estimate quotients. So for example you get a problem like 47/5. First you have to estimate the number 47 to a number that 5 can easily go into.So lets round 47 to 45 because it is the closest number that can be evenly divided by 5 and is in the times table of 5 as well.
