Question

James was able to correctly 11 major highways, 4 mountains, 86 major cities, and 9 bodies of water on a map. How many places on the map did James identify? Explain how you can use compatible numbers to help calculate the sum.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of places correctly identified is 110 places

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of places he correctly identified will be;

11 + 4 + 86 + 9 = 110 places

By using compatible numbers, we refer to the fact that she use an estimate by making sure each of the numbers are closer to the nearest 10th or 5

so 4 will be 5

11 will be 10

86 will be 85

9 will be 10

Adding all of these together, we have

5 + 10 + 85 + 10 = 110
