  4. Estimating • It took 75.75 pounds of shredded cheese to make the world’s largest burrito. Estimate how many 10 pound boxes of shredded cheese the cooks needed. 75.75 10 Set up the Quotient 80 10 Since the divisor does not need rounded to the leading digit choose the compatible number 80 for the dividend. You will need about 8 ten pound boxes.
