compatible numbers are numbers that are easy to add or subtract, multiply or divide
your supposed to like 90 to an easy number such as 80 + 30
then add
80 + 30=110
then add the numbers you left out
3+ 4 = 7
and you get 117
or you can round up
90 + 40
90 + 40=130
then you subtract the numbers you added on
90 - 83 = 7
40 - 34 = 6
then you add those and subtract from 130 and you get 117
I had to do these two years ago in 6th grade they are way to easy for me GOOD LUCK and don't rely on yahoo for answers what happens when their is a test?
