Example Question #101 : Compare Two Digit Numbers: Ccss.Math.Content.1.Nbt.B.3

Which statement is true?

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 73>96\)

\(\displaystyle 73< 96\)

\(\displaystyle 73=96\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 73< 96\)

Explanation:

When you are comparing numbers with all different digits, you look at the greatest place value to determine which number is greater or less than. In this case, we are going to look at the tens place. 

\(\displaystyle 7\) is less than \(\displaystyle 9\) which means that \(\displaystyle 73\) is less than \(\displaystyle 96\). Or \(\displaystyle 73< 96\) because the \(\displaystyle < \) sign means less than.

Which statement is true?

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 74>96\)

\(\displaystyle 74< 96\)

\(\displaystyle 74=96\)

\(\displaystyle 75>96\)

\(\displaystyle 75< 96\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 75< 96\)

Explanation:

When you are comparing numbers with all different digits, you look at the greatest place value to determine which number is greater or less than. In this case, we are going to look at the tens place. 

\(\displaystyle 7\) is less than \(\displaystyle 9\) which means that \(\displaystyle 75\) is less than \(\displaystyle 96\). Or \(\displaystyle 75< 96\) because the \(\displaystyle < \) sign means less than.  

Example Question #231 : Understanding Place Value

Which statement is true?

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 71>71\)

\(\displaystyle 71< 71\)

\(\displaystyle 71=71\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 71=71\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle 71\) and \(\displaystyle 71\) are the same number which means \(\displaystyle 71\) equals \(\displaystyle 71\). Or \(\displaystyle 71=17\) because the \(\displaystyle =\) sign means equals. 

Example Question #232 : Understanding Place Value

Which statement is true?

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 13=13\)

\(\displaystyle 13< 13\)

\(\displaystyle 13>13\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 13=13\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle 13\) and \(\displaystyle 13\) are the same number which means \(\displaystyle 13\) equals \(\displaystyle 13\). Or \(\displaystyle 13=13\) because the \(\displaystyle =\) sign means equals. 

Example Question #261 : Number & Operations In Base Ten

Which statement is true?

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 26=26\)

\(\displaystyle 26< 26\)

\(\displaystyle 26>26\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 26=26\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle 26\) and \(\displaystyle 26\) are the same number which means \(\displaystyle 26\) equals \(\displaystyle 26\). Or \(\displaystyle 26=26\) because the \(\displaystyle =\) sign means equals. 

Example Question #262 : Number & Operations In Base Ten

Which statement is true?

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 59>59\)

\(\displaystyle 59=59\)

\(\displaystyle 59< 59\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 59=59\)

\(\displaystyle 59\) and \(\displaystyle 59\) are the same number which means \(\displaystyle 59\) equals \(\displaystyle 59\). Or \(\displaystyle 59=59\) because the \(\displaystyle =\) sign means equals. 

Example Question #108 : Compare Two Digit Numbers: Ccss.Math.Content.1.Nbt.B.3

Which statement is true? 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 16=23\)

\(\displaystyle 16< 23\)

\(\displaystyle 16>23\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 16< 23\)

Explanation:

When you are comparing numbers with all different digits, you look at the greatest place value to determine which number is greater or less than. In this case, we are going to look at the tens place. 

\(\displaystyle 1\) is less than \(\displaystyle 2\) which means that \(\displaystyle 16\) is less than \(\displaystyle 23\). Or \(\displaystyle 16< 23\) because the \(\displaystyle < \) sign means less than.
