standard_description: Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)

Estimate the following quotient. Then compute it.
$$486\div79$$
Problem 2
Divya is trying to solve
$$369 ÷ 46$$
. She estimates the quotient to be
$$369\div46 \approx 350 \div 50 = 7$$
. She starts to compute below:

.
Problem 3
723 students were divided equally into teams of 94 students for field day. Any students left over after making as many groups of 94 as possible will just be a smaller team. How many students will be on a team smaller than 94, if any?
