Find the approximate quotient for each of the following :

(i) 86 ÷ 27

(ii) 83 ÷ 19

(iii) 286 ÷ 25

(iv) 865 ÷ 38

(i) 86 ÷ 27

Round 86 to the nearest ten: 90

Round 27 to the nearest ten: 30

Approximate quotient: 90 ÷ 30 = 3

Hence, the approximate quotient = 3.

(ii) 83 ÷ 19

Round 83 to the nearest ten: 80

Round 19 to the nearest ten: 20

Approximate quotient: 80 ÷ 20 = 4

Hence, the approximate quotient = 4.

(iii) 286 ÷ 25

Round 286 to the nearest hundred: 300

Round 25 to the nearest ten: 30

Approximate quotient: 300 ÷ 30 = 10

Hence, the approximate quotient = 10.

(iv) 865 ÷ 38

Round 865 to the nearest hundred: 900

Round 38 to the nearest ten: 40

Approximate quotient: 900 ÷ 40 = 90 ÷ 4 = 22.5.

Since we are looking for an approximate quotient, we can round to the nearest whole number.

Approximate quotient: 23

Hence, the approximate quotient = 23.
