*Make a mental math estimate for the following problems.

4.) 9,253 ÷ 34

1 answer

To estimate \( 9,253 \div 34 \), we can round both numbers to make the division simpler.

  • Rounding \( 9,253 \) to \( 9,000 \) (since it's close to 9,000).
  • Rounding \( 34 \) to \( 30 \) (since it's close to 30).

Now, we can perform the estimated division:

\[ \frac{9,000}{30} \]

To simplify \( \frac{9,000}{30} \):

First, divide \( 9,000 \) by \( 3 \):

\[ \frac{9,000}{3} = 3,000 \]

Now, divide by \( 10 \):

\[ \frac{3,000}{10} = 300 \]

So, the estimated result of \( 9,253 \div 34 \) is approximately \( 300 \).
