Estimating the quotient in a division problem helps predict the first digit of the actual quotient. It's done by figuring out how many times the divisor could fit into the initial digits of the dividend. This method improves calculation speed and problem-solving skills.
Estimating the quotient is an important step in solving a division problem because it helps in placing the first digit.
Let's understand this with an example. Suppose, we have a division problem where we have to divide 845 by 3. Now, before diving right into the actual division, we can do an estimation. Consider the first two digits of the number (84) and see how many times 3 can form 84 approximately. Here, it would be 28 locally. This estimated quotient (28) is a good indicator of what our first digit or couple of digits in the actual quotient might be.
So, when we do the actual division, we get a quotient of 281. The estimated quotient helped in predicting the starting digit of our actual quotient.
Understanding these mathematical concepts will eventually enhance your problem-solving and calculation speed.

Answer:
D.
Explanation:
Answer:
C) “At that moment he was thinking of Aegisthus, who had been killed by Agamemnon's son Orestes; so he said to the other gods…”
Statement B best demonstrates the narrator's point of view, as it shows the narrator actively seeking and recounting knowledge about a hero's travels from the Muse. However, statements C and D also show the narrator's perspective as they provide insights on characters' thoughts and actions.
The evidence demonstrating the narrator's point of view can be discerned from all the presented sentences, but the best example would be option B) “Tell me, O Muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy.” This statement clearly demonstrates the narrator's perspective as it shows the narrator actively seeking knowledge or drawing from a source, in this case the Muse, about the hero's adventures.
Similarly, statement A could also provide some insight into the narrator's point of view, as it also references seeking knowledge from a deity (daughter of Jove). Nevertheless, in statements C and D the narrator conveys information about characters' thoughts and their locations, respectively, without explicitly seeking it from them, so it is the narrator's point of view that we are getting simply by description of actions and thoughts of the characters such as Orestes or Neptune.
