To estimate \( 39 \div 8 \), you can round the numbers to make the division easier:
- Round \( 39 \) to \( 40 \) (a number that is easier to work with).
- \( 8 \) stays the same.
Now, you can perform the division:
\[ 40 \div 8 = 5 \]
Thus, the estimated result of \( 39 \div 8 \) is approximately \( 5 \).
For an exact answer, \( 39 \div 8 = 4.875 \).
