To estimate the quotient of –23.514 and –3.98 by rounding each to the nearest integer:
- Round –23.514 to the nearest integer, which is –24.
- Round –3.98 to the nearest integer, which is –4.
Now we can set up the equation based on the rounded estimates:
\[ \frac{-24}{-4} = 6 \]
This means the correct estimation is:
Negative 24 divided by negative 4 = 6.
So the answer is: Negative 24 divided by negative 4 = 6.
