Real-World Examples of Comparing Two-Digit Quantities

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 Comparing two-digit numbers involves looking at the tens place first. If the tens digits are different, the number with the larger tens digit is greater.
• ⚖️ If the tens digits are the same, then you compare the ones digits. The number with the larger ones digit is greater.
• 💡 Remember that the symbols $>$ (greater than), $<$ (less than), and $=$ (equal to) are used to show the relationship between two numbers.
• 📝 Example: To compare 34 and 37, both have 3 in the tens place. Compare the ones place: 4 and 7. Since 7 is greater than 4, 37 > 34.
• ➕ You can also use a number line to visualize the numbers. The number on the right is always greater.
