Helping my kid in 5th grade.

I dont rember doing this stuff untill I was in HS. and it has been 17yrs.

Here is the question word for word.

How do you know when the estimate for a digit in a quotient is too large? too small?

and

A train traveled 987 miles averaging 47 miles per hour. To find the number of hours the train traveled, the divison 47/987 (answer 21) is preformed.

What is th best ESTIMATE of the first digit in the quotient?

please help!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Studio78a (talk • contribs) 19:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quotient of the same number exception

If I have a quotient and the divisor as the same number the total should be 1. There is an exception for this. For Example 6/6=1. Can someone help me with the exception.

Thanks

The exception is 0/0.

Relevance of example

Saying that IQ is referred to as a quotient does seem relevant, but the following sentence does not:

In recent decades, as more emphasis has been placed on full personal development, other similar quotients have appeared. These include moral quotient, emotional quotient, adversity quotient, social quotient, creativity quotient, etc.

Could belong in the IQ article, but does it belong here? --Lex (talk) 15:06, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
