Estimate the quotient by choosing a whole number close to the dividend that can be evenly divided by the divisor.

6.49/ 5= 1.298...????
14.78 / 5 = 2.956...????

The quotient is 1.298
the dividend is 5
What is the estimation???12 is too much...

To estimate the quotient, you need to choose a whole number close to the dividend that can be evenly divided by the divisor. Let's break down the calculation for both of the examples you provided:

1) 6.49 divided by 5:
To estimate the quotient, you can choose a whole number close to 6.49 that can be evenly divided by 5. In this case, a good choice is 10. By dividing 10 by 5, you get an answer of 2. So, the estimated quotient for 6.49 divided by 5 is 2.

2) 14.78 divided by 5:
Similarly, to estimate the quotient, choose a whole number close to 14.78 that can be evenly divided by 5. In this case, a good choice is 15. By dividing 15 by 5, you get an answer of 3. So, the estimated quotient for 14.78 divided by 5 is 3.

It's important to note that the estimated quotient may not be the exact value, but it gives you an approximation that is close to the real quotient.
