2. Comparing And Ordering Numbers

When we compare numbers, we will compare the digits from the left to the right.

The greater the digit on the “left”, the greater the number.

 

Question 1:

Let’s take a look at the following numbers:

Which number is greater?

Which number is greater?

Solution:

The digit in the thousands place of both numbers is 2.
Since they are the same, we look at the digit in the hundreds place.

The digit in the hundreds place of both numbers is different. We compare them.
Since 9 is greater than 5, 2950 is greater than 2590.

Answer:

2950

 

Question 2:

Which of the following is the greatest?

  1. 6710
  2. 2375
  3. 4097
  4. 1684

Solution:

By comparing the digits in the thousands place for all the numbers, 6 is the greatest.
Hence, 6710 is the greatest number.

Answer:

(1) 6710

 

Question 3:

Which of the following is the smallest?

  1. 7835
  2. 1089
  3. 2550
  4. 4872

Solution:

By comparing the digits in the thousands place for all the numbers, 1 is the smallest.
Hence, 1089 is the smallest number.

Answer:

(2) 1089

 

Question 4:

Which of the following is the greatest?

  1. 5760
  2. 5670
  3. 6750
  4. 6570

Solution:

By comparing the digits in the thousands place for all the numbers, 6 is greater than 5.
Hence, we compare 6750 and 6570.

By comparing the digits in the hundreds place for 6750 and 6570, 7 is greater than 5.
Hence, 6750 is the greatest number.

Answer:

(3) 6750

 

Question 5:

Which of the following is the smallest?

  1. 2323
  2. 2332
  3. 3232
  4. 3223

Solution:

By comparing the digits in the thousands place for all the numbers, 2 is smaller than 3.
Hence, we compare 2323 and 2332.

The digit in the hundreds place for 2323 and 2332 is the same.

By comparing the digits in the tens place for 2323 and 2332, 2 is smaller than 3.
Hence, 2323 is the smallest number.

Answer:

(1) 2323

 

Question 6:

Arrange the following numbers in order, starting with the smallest.

3750 573 3705 5370

Solution:

573   3705   3750   5370

smallest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question 7:
