Question

Rudi bought 12.5 yards of fabric to make pillows. Each pillow requires 1.75 yards of fabric. Use compatible numbers to estimate the number of pillows Rudi can make.

Answer 1

I did this test already and i chose B) on the test and got %100 and it was near 6

Answer 2

Hi there!

Using compatible numbers it would be:

12 ÷ 2 = 6.

Now when you divide it, the answer would be close to 6.

So, 12 ÷ 2 = 6 would be using compatible numbers.

Hope this helps ;)
