Drag the steps for estimating a quotient into the correct order.
Use the trailing-zeros shortcut to compute the result.
State the result as an estimate of the original quotient.
Round both the dividend and divisor (both up or both down).
Choose rounded values that divide easily.
Correct Answer
(1) Round both the dividend and divisor (both up or both down).
(2) Choose rounded values that divide easily.
(3) Use the trailing-zeros shortcut to compute the result.
(4) State the result as an estimate of the original quotient.
Explanation
Estimation steps: (1) Round both up or both down → (2) Aim for trailing zeros that make division easy → (3) Apply the trailing-zeros shortcut → (4) State the approximate answer.
