36.72 ÷ 30 = 1224
Showing my thinking: Use front end estimation. ( taking the first digit)
Step 1: 36.72 will turn into 30.
Step 2: 30 will stay the same. So it will be 30 ÷ 30, 30÷30 = 1
Step 3: Now you know that the answer be approximately 1
Answer: 36.72 ÷ 30 = 1.224
Question # 6 b) in your textbook: Estimate then calculate the answer.
4.56 ÷ 0.8 = ______
Estimation:
Step 1: Round 4.56 to the nearest whole number, which is 5.
Step 2: Change 0.8 to 0.5
Step 3: 5 ÷ 0.5 = 10
Answer: 4.56 ÷ 0.8 = 5.7
Question # 12 in your textbook: A contractor charged $398.75 to move the gravel for a garden. The contractor charges $72.50 per hour. How long did she work? Estimate, then calculate the answer.
Estimation:
Step 1 : Change $ 398.75 to $350.00
Step 2 : Change $ 72.50 into $ 70.00
Step 3 : 350 ÷ 70 = 5. That means the contractor worked for about 5 hours.
Answer: 398.75 ÷ 72.50 = 5.5 , the contractor worked for 5 and half hours.
