Compatible numbers for 2.4 and –0.18 are 2.5 and –0.2. What is the estimation of the product of (2.4)(–0.18) using these compatible numbers?

SmokeyBrown:

Hello, and welcome to QuestionCove! I assume the point of this questions is that you can multiply 2.5 and -0.2 to get something pretty close to 2.4*-0.18. So, if you multiply 2.5 and -0.2, that should be your "estimation of the product", and I think you'll have your answer.
