*Decide which place value spot the first digit in the quotient will be placed in. You can make an estimate, use number sense, or multiply the divisor by 10, 100, or 1,000.

Question

7.) 2,645 ÷ 17
The 1st digit of the quotient will be placed in:hundreds place

8.) 872 ÷ 30
The 1st digit of the quotient will be placed in:

Answer 1

To determine the place value spot for the first digit in the quotient of 872 ÷ 30, we can make an estimation.

1. Estimate the quotient:

   • Round 30 to 30 (no change needed in this case).
   • Approximate 872 to a number that is easy to work with, say 900.

2. Divide:

   • 900 ÷ 30 = 30.

From our calculation, we see that the first digit of the quotient (30) is in the tens place.

Therefore, the answer for problem 8 is: The 1st digit of the quotient will be placed in: tens place.
