How do you know that 8100 and 90 are not the best compatible numbers to use when estimating the quotient of 9269 divided by 88?

First of all, the two numbers are quite a long way from the ones whose quotient you are trying to estimate.
Also, 8100 is smaller than 9269 so your estimate is going to be smaller than the actual value. And then 90 is bigger than 88 and is the denominator. This will make the estimate smaller still.
Both the compatible numbers selected will reduce the stimate. They should be selected so that the effect of one acts in the opposite direction to that of the other.
So, if you must use 8100, the select the second number which is smaller than 88. Or, if you must use 90, the other number should be greater than 9269.

How does one estimate a quotient using compatible numbers?
The best way to estimate a quotient using compatible numbers is to first understand how compatible numbers work. They are numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers and are easily added, subtracted or divided.

What do they mean when they say estimate each quotient write the compatible numbers you used?
Suppose you are asked to evaluate a quotient like 923/462. You have several options. You could choose 900 and 500 as compatible numbers for the two given numbers and then your estimated quotient would be 900/500 = 1.8. Or You could choose 920 and 460 as the compatible numbers for them and then your estimated quotient would be 920/460 = 2.0. So the question is essentially, what compatible numbers did you pick and using them, what was the quotient. There is no correct answer to picking compatible numbers. Any estimation is a trade-off between simplicity and accuracy. Incidentally, a more accurate answer is 1.9978 (approx), but even that is not perfect!
