Estimate the quotient by rounding both numbers to the nearest tens place. Make sure the answer represents an estimation of the numbers listed, not the exact solution.

[tex]\[ 962 \div 39 \][/tex]

A. 24.6
B. 24
C. 30
D. 25



Answer :

To estimate the quotient for [tex]\( 962 \div 39 \)[/tex] by rounding both numbers to the nearest tens place, follow these steps:

1. Round the numbers to the nearest tens place:
- [tex]\( 962 \)[/tex] rounded to the nearest tens place is [tex]\( 960 \)[/tex].
- [tex]\( 39 \)[/tex] rounded to the nearest tens place is [tex]\( 40 \)[/tex].

2. Divide the rounded numbers to get the estimated quotient:
- [tex]\( 960 \div 40 = 24 \)[/tex].

Thus, the estimated quotient of [tex]\( 962 \div 39 \)[/tex] by rounding to the nearest tens place is [tex]\( 24 \)[/tex].
