Which division problem would have an estimated quotient of 15 if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number? 90.24 divided by 6.3 79.85 divided by 3.99 85.01 divided by 16.77 59.87 divided by 10.21

Option a) 90.24 divided by 6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We take each option one by one and solve for it

a) 90.24 divided by 6.3

Divisor = 90.24

Dividend = 6.3

if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number?

= 90÷ 6

= 15

This option is correct.

b) 79.85 divided by 3.99

79.85 = Divisor

3.99= Dividend

if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number?

= 80 ÷ 4

= 20

This is wrong

c) 85.01 divided by 16.77

85.01 = Divisor

16.77 = Dividend

if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number?

= 85÷17

= 5

This option is wrong

d) 59.87 divided by 10.21

Divisor = 59.87

Dividend = 10.21

if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number?

= 60÷ 10

=6

This option is wrong.

Therefore, the division problem that would have an estimated quotient of 15 if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number is Option a) 90.24 divided by 6.3
