From Jessica:
Hello, I'm having trouble helping my daughter she is in 5th grade and I tell you her math is so much different then the math I learned in school and I been out of school for quite some time so it's a little hard for me.
Anyway her math is very confusing for me they are saying use compatible numbers to find two estimates.
I have no idea what that even mean I tried using Google but still don't get it .
The problem is 12 divided by 478 using compatible numbers to find two estimates.... please help

From Natalie:
I'm in 4th grade and two weeks ago my class learned how to use compatible numbers.
I was REALLY confused but I didn't want to say I didn't understand because I just wanted to go home.
Tomorrow we have the Topic 7 Test and I'm stuck on a problem that requires using compatible numbers.
My mom apparently hasn't heard of compatible numbers and she can't really help me too much.
Here's the problem : The local library places new books in a section with 31 shelves. Each shelf
fits 18 books. Use compatible numbers to estimate the number of books that the library can fit on
the shelves.

From Erika:
When working with compatible numbers, when do you choose to round up or down? For example: In the problem: 373 divided by 4, one could round 373 to 400 and keep the 4 the same, and the answer would be 100; OR, one could round 373 down to 360 and keep the 4 the same, and the answer would be 90. When given the problem as an assignment, which way dictates how one would round, up or down?

From Brendan:
Let's say you have 291/2 and its between 281/2=14 and 301/2=15. My question is where do the
14 and the 15 come from or in other words how do you get those?
