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?

[edit] 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
