    Step-by-step explanation:

    Compatible numbers are numbers that are easy to use in mental arithmetic.

    Martin gave away ⅖ of 7 lb of grapes, so the amount he gave away was

    ⅖ * 7 lb

    ⅖ is close to ²/₄ (½), and it is easy to take half of something mentally.

    Half of 7 is about 3, so Martin gave away about 3 lb of grapes (the exact answer is 2.8 lb).
