Question

Divide: 651 ÷ 54
54 -> 50
50 x _ = 500
50 x 20 = _
The quotient will be between 10 and 20.

Answer 1

To fill in the blanks:

1. 54 -> 50: This indicates we are rounding 54 down to 50 for easier calculation.

2. 50 x _ = 500: To find the missing number, we calculate:

   \[ 500 ÷ 50 = 10 \]

   So, the missing number is 10.

3. 50 x 20 = _: Next, we calculate:

   \[ 50 x 20 = 1000 \]

   Thus, the value is 1000.

Finally, confirming that the quotient of \( 651 ÷ 54 \) is indeed between 10 and 20, we know:

• The approximate quotient, when dividing \( 651 \) by \( 50 \), is \( 13.02 \), which falls between 10 and 20.

So the filled-in blanks are:

• 10
• 1000
