Estimate: 7.523 divided by 4.23 = 2, 3, 6 or 4

1 answer

To estimate \( 7.523 \div 4.23 \), we can round the numbers to make the division simpler.

Rounding \( 7.523 \) to \( 8 \) and \( 4.23 \) to \( 4 \):

Now we estimate:

\[ 8 \div 4 = 2 \]

Thus, the estimated result of \( 7.523 \div 4.23 \) is approximately \( 2 \).

So, among the options provided (2, 3, 6, or 4), the closest estimate is 2.
