Answer :
The first digit of the whole- number quotient will be in the hundred place.
To determine which place will the first digit of the whole- number quotient be placed after taking the quotient of 572 and 4, we will follow the steps below;
- Round up 572 to 1 significant figure. The value expressed as one significant figure is 600.
- Since the divisor is a unit value, we will not be rounding it up.
- Take the quotient of 600 and 4.
[tex]\frac{600}{4}=\frac{150\times 4}{4 \times 1} =150[/tex]
From the result, we can see that the first digit of the whole- number quotient is to the nearest hundred (100)
