Long Division
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
To estimate 159 ÷ 4, use 160 ÷ 4 = 42.
Rewrite: To estimate 159 ÷ 4, use 160 ÷ 4 = 40.
2. Fix the sentence:
108 ÷ 9 = 11 because 9 × 11 = 108.
Rewrite: 108 ÷ 9 = 12 because 9 × 12 = 108.
3. Fix the sentence:
372 ÷ 4 = 94 because 4 × 94 = 376.
Rewrite: 372 ÷ 4 = 93 because 4 × 93 = 372.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. To estimate 247 ÷ 5, use the compatible number 250 ÷ 5 = 50
2. 312 ÷ 4 = 78
3. To estimate 355 ÷ 6, use 360 ÷ 6 = 60
4. 455 ÷ 5 = 91
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Why is estimating a quotient before dividing a helpful strategy?
Estimating gives you a rough idea of the answer so you can check whether your exact quotient is reasonable.
2. Estimate 427 ÷ 6 using a compatible number. Then find the exact answer.
Use 420 ÷ 6 = 70 as the estimate. The exact answer is 427 ÷ 6 = 71 R1.
