one position to the right in a place value chart.

So, 74 ÷ 1,000 = .

Every time you divide a number by 0.1, each digit in the number shifts one
position to the left in a place value chart.

Example Find 5.8 ÷ 0.01. Hundreds Tens Ones . Tenths

 Build Understanding: Estimate Decimal Quotients

You can use compatible numbers to estimate quotients. When the divisor
is greater than the dividend, rename the dividend as tenths or hundredths.
Then divide.

Example Estimate 146.26 ÷ 41.2.

Round the divisor 41.2 to 40.

Think: What numbers close to 146.26 are easily divided by 40?

Use 120. 146.26 ÷ 41.2 Use 160. 146.26 ÷ 41.2

120 ÷ 40 = 160 ÷ 40 =

Choose 160 because 146.26 is closer to 160. So, 146.26 ÷ 41.2 is about .

Example Estimate 4.2 ÷ 8.

Rename 4.2 as tenths.

4.2 is 42 tenths. 42 tenths is close to 40 tenths. 40 and 8 are compatible numbers.

40 tenths ÷ 8 = tenths, or

So, 4.2 ÷ 8 is about .

Task
You experiment with levers for your
school’s science fair.

1. You balance the seesaw lever by placing different weights on either side at
different distances from the middle. You find the formula for balancing the
seesaw lever is (left weight) × (left distance) = (right weight) × (right distance).
You test the formula using various combinations of weights.
a. Use the formula to complete Balanced Seesaw Lever

d. For your science fair display, you balance the lever by placing another
gram weight on the right side. Which gram weight should you use?

 You help set up tables for the science fair. There are 93 science fair displays.
You use the display boards to determine how many tables to use.
2. Each display board opens up to form 24 in.

a. How much room do you think each display
board needs to open up? Explain.

b. You place the display boards next to each other on 12-foot-long

tables. How many display boards can you fit on one table?

c. Communicate Clearly You use one table for snacks and one table
4 for award ribbons. What is the least number of tables you can use?
MTR
Explain.

d. Make a Plan The diagram shows the room where the science fair is held.
5 Each table for the science fair is 3 feet wide. Your teacher says the ends of

the tables can touch to save space. Complete the diagram to arrange the
tables so that visitors and judges can see each display board.
