4004 + 50.50t = 300.75t
4004 = 300.75t - 50.50t
4004 = 250.25t
4004 / 250.25 = t
16 = t <=== they charge the same at 16 tons
300.75(16) = 4812 <== they cost the same
Answer:
Use compatible numbers that are close to the actual numbers
Choose 36 for 35 3/4 and 6 for 5 7/8 because the divide evenly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Compatible numbers are numbers that are close to the actual values of a particular number. They make estimating easier when yo udo the different operations.
We choose 36 for 35 3/4 because 36 is closer to its value that 34. Conveniently, 5 7/8 is closer to 6 than 5, and they divide evenly. So a best estimate for the number of rows Holly can make would be:
36/6 = 6 rows.
