3.2 Estimating Decimal Products and Quotients Mr. Phillips Intro to Algebra
Lesson Objectives By the end of today’s lesson you will be able to: • Estimate products using mental math. • Estimate quotients using compatible numbers.
Estimating ProductsExample #1 (pg. 132) Estimate each product. 1) 7.65 × 3.2 2) 6.43 × 4.7
Estimating ProductsOYO #1 Estimate each product. 3) 4.56×7.02 4) 6.3×9.2 5) 3.29×58 ≈ 35 ≈ 54 ≈180
Estimating ProductsExample #2 (pg. 132) Josh bought 3 yards of fabric to make a flag. Fabric costs $5.35 per yard. The clerk says his total is $14.95 before tax. Did the clerk make a mistake?
Estimating ProductsOYO #2 You buy 24 donuts from the Donut Emporium in Plano. Each donut costs $.98 . Estimate the cost before tax for 2 dozen donuts? ≈ $24
Objective #1 Can you… ~ estimate products using mental math? Let’s Check…
Check for Understanding Do problems 11, 13, 15 on Practice Worksheet 3-2. Next, compare answers with a neighbor. • ≈54 13) ≈600 15) ≈1440
Estimating Quotients 6 ÷ 3 = 2 The first number is the dividend. The second number is the divisor. The number after the = sign is the quotient.
Estimating Quotients Name the following: 18 ÷3 = 6 3 is the: 18 is the: 6 is the:
Estimating Quotients defn: compatible numbers: -numbers easy to divide mentally *When dividing, you can use compatible numbers to estimate quotients
Estimating Quotients When you estimate the quotient: • Round the divisor. • Round the dividend to a compatible number.
Estimating QuotientsExample #3 (pg. 133) Estimate the quotient using compatible numbers. 1) 14.9 ÷ 2.8 2) 25.3 ÷ 4.9
Estimating QuotientsOYO #3 Estimate the quotient using compatible numbers. 3) 35.8÷3.8 4) 29.4÷1.8 5) 49.6÷4.4 ≈ 9 ≈ 15 ≈ 10
Estimating QuotientsExample #4 (pg. 133) The cost to ship 1 yearbook is $3.12. The total cost for a shipment was $62.40. Estimate how many books were in the shipment. • Round the divisor. • Round to a multiple of 3. • Find the quotient.
Estimating QuotientsExample #5 (pg. 133) Use estimation. Is each quotient reasonable? 1) 17.931÷8.34 =2.15 2) 31.423÷5.94=3.29
Estimating QuotientsOYO #5 Use estimation. Is each quotient reasonable? 3) 318.274÷4.07=78.2 4) 41.09÷6.88=5.12 Reasonable Not Reasonable
Objective #2 Can you… ~ estimate quotients using compatible numbers? Let’s Check…
