  • 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?
