Question9. Which One Doesn't Belong? Which expression does not have a two-digit quotient? 1,955÷851,955 \div 85 6,701÷366,701 \div 36 1,699÷541,699 \div 54 2,754÷712,754 \div 71

STEP 1

What is this asking? Which of these division problems gives an answer less than 1010? Watch out! Don't just blindly divide, think about how big the answer *should* be before calculating it!

STEP 2

1. Estimate the Quotients
2. Calculate the Quotients
3. Identify the Odd One Out

STEP 3

Let's **estimate** each quotient to get a feel for which one might be smaller than the others.
We can do this by rounding the numbers to make the division easier.

STEP 4

For 1,955÷851,955 \div 85, we can round 1,9551,955 to 2,0002,000 and 8585 to 100100.
So, 2,000÷1002,000 \div 100 is 2020.

STEP 5

For 6,701÷366,701 \div 36, let's round 6,7016,701 to 7,0007,000 and 3636 to 4040. 7,000÷407,000 \div 40 is the same as 700÷4700 \div 4, which is a bit more than 100100, since 4100=4004 \cdot 100 = 400 and 4200=8004 \cdot 200 = 800.

STEP 6

For 1,699÷541,699 \div 54, round 1,6991,699 to 1,7001,700 and 5454 to 5050. 1,700÷501,700 \div 50 is the same as 170÷5170 \div 5, which is more than 3030, since 530=1505 \cdot 30 = 150.

STEP 7

Lastly, for 2,754÷712,754 \div 71, round 2,7542,754 to 2,8002,800 and 7171 to 7070. 2,800÷702,800 \div 70 is the same as 280÷7280 \div 7, which is **exactly** 4040!

STEP 8

Now, let's **calculate** the actual quotients to be sure.

STEP 9

1,955÷85=231,955 \div 85 = 23

STEP 10

6,701÷36=186 R 56,701 \div 36 = 186 \text{ R } 5

STEP 11

1,699÷54=31 R 251,699 \div 54 = 31 \text{ R } 25

STEP 12

2,754÷71=38 R 562,754 \div 71 = 38 \text{ R } 56

STEP 13

We're looking for the expression that *doesn't* have a two-digit quotient.
That means we're looking for a quotient that's less than 1010.

STEP 14

Looking at our calculated quotients, we see that 1,955÷85=231,955 \div 85 = 23.
Since 101=1010 \cdot 1 = 10 and 1010=10010 \cdot 10 = 100, we know that 2323 is between 1010 and 100100, so it *is* a two-digit number.

STEP 15

All the other quotients (186186, 3131, and 3838) are also two-digit numbers.
Oops! It looks like our estimations were a bit off.
But that's okay, because we did the full calculations to be absolutely sure!

STEP 16

None of the expressions have a quotient that isn't a two-digit number.
All the quotients are greater than 1010.
There's no "odd one out"!
