We need to divide the number of CDs sold, 3,467, by the number of days, 7
In order to estimate the quotient, we will use compatible numbers.
3,467 is close to 3,500
Remember: Compatible numbers are numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers, and which make it easy to perform mental arithmetic.
Some examples of compatible numbers when doing division are 400 and 10, 36 and 6, 2400 and 12, and 64 and 8
3,500 and 7 are compatible because when doing this division (3,500 ÷7 ), we can quickly divide 35 by 7 to get 5 and put two zeros at the end to get 500
3,500 ÷ 7 = 500
About 500 CDs were sold each day
