7623 rounds to nearest thousand as 8000 as hundreds digit 6 is > 5.
Step 2:
Rounding 467 so that it has only one non-zero digit is rounding it to nearest hundred.
467 rounds to nearest hundred as 500 as tens digit 6 is > 5.
Step 3:
The estimated quotient after rounding each number so that it has only one non-zero digit is
8000 ÷ 500 = 16
Q 4 - Estimate the quotient 3238 ÷ 760 by first rounding each number to the nearest hundred.
Answer : D
Explanation
