Estimate each quotient. Tell which method you used. Do I respond with by telling I used the method of rounding to solve? Ex. 195 divided by 4. Answer 200 divided 4 = 50. Method I used is rounding/estimating.

OH! So if I used the rounding/estimating method for each of the 7 questions, as the directions told me to, I still just put Rounding/estimating as my method?

Yes. I think you need to tell what your rounded numbers are. You rounded 195 to 200 for your problem above.

Yes, when estimating each quotient, you can respond by mentioning the method you used, such as rounding or estimating. Let me help you with an example:

Example: 195 divided by 4

To estimate this quotient using rounding, you can round the dividend (195) to the nearest ten, which is 200. Then you perform the division with the rounded numbers: 200 divided by 4 = 50.

So, in your answer, you could say: "195 divided by 4. Answer: 200 divided by 4 = 50. Method I used: rounding/estimating."

This way, you're indicating the numbers you used for estimation (200 and 4) and clarifying the method employed (rounding/estimating).
