  3. Sam collected 128 colorful leaves in the park. His sister Lily collected 142 leaves. Who collected more leaves? Answer: A. Lily Solution: Sam collected 128 leaves. Lily collected 142 leaves. Compare the hundreds place first.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Sam collected 128 leaves. Lily collected 142 leaves. Step 2: Compare the hundreds place first. Both numbers have 1 hundred, so they are the same. Step 3: Compare the tens place next. Sam's number has 2 tens (20). Lily's number has 4 tens (40). Since 40 is greater than 20, Lily's number is greater. Step 4: Therefore, Lily collected more leaves. The correct answer is Lily.

  4. 324 < 398 = ? Answer: B. true Solution: Compare the hundreds place: Both numbers have 3 hundreds, so they are equal so far. Compare the tens place: 324 has 2 tens, 398 has 9 tens. Since 2 is less than 9, 324 is less than 398.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds place: Both numbers have 3 hundreds, so they are equal so far. Step 2: Compare the tens place: 324 has 2 tens, 398 has 9 tens. Since 2 is less than 9, 324 is less than 398. Step 3: Therefore, the statement 324 < 398 is true.

  5. Hana and Matiu are comparing their collections of seashells. Hana has 824 seashells, and Matiu has 842 seashells. Who has more seashells? Answer: Matiu Solution: Compare the hundreds digits. Hana has 8 hundreds (800) and Matiu has 8 hundreds (800). They are equal.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds digits. Hana has 8 hundreds (800) and Matiu has 8 hundreds (800). They are equal. Step 2: Compare the tens digits. Hana has 2 tens (20) and Matiu has 4 tens (40). Since 40 is greater than 20, Matiu's number is larger. Step 3: Therefore, Matiu has more seashells than Hana. The answer is Matiu.

  6. Noah is comparing two number cards. Card A shows 561 and Card B shows 516. Which card has the greater number? Answer: Card A (561) Solution: Compare the hundreds place. Both numbers have 5 hundreds, so they are the same. Compare the tens place.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds place. Both numbers have 5 hundreds, so they are the same. Step 2: Compare the tens place. Card A has 6 tens (60) and Card B has 1 ten (10). Since 60 is greater than 10, Card A is greater. Step 3: Card A (561) is greater than Card B (516). The answer is Card A (561).

  7. Sam has 428 baseball cards. His friend Lily has 482 baseball cards. Who has more baseball cards? Answer: C. Lily Solution: Compare the hundreds place: Sam has 4 hundreds, Lily has 4 hundreds. They are equal. Compare the tens place: Sam has 2 tens (20), Lily has 8 tens (80).

  9. Liam has 245 stickers in his collection. His friend Emma has 328 stickers. Who has more stickers, and how many more do they have? Answer: Emma has 83 more stickers Solution: Identify the number of stickers each person has. Liam has 245 stickers. Emma has 328 stickers.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Let's compare how many stickers Liam and Emma have. Step 1: Identify the number of stickers each person has. Liam has 245 stickers. Emma has 328 stickers. Step 2: Compare the two numbers to see who has more. 328 is greater than 245, so Emma has more stickers. Step 3: Find the difference to see how many more stickers Emma has. We subtract Liam's stickers from Emma's stickers: 328 - 245 = ? Step 4: Perform the subtraction. We can break it down: First, subtract the ones place: 8 - 5 = 3. Next, subtract the tens place: 2 - 4. Since 2 is smaller than 4, we need to borrow from the hundreds place. 328 becomes 3 hundreds, 2 tens, and 8 ones. Borrowing 1 hundred (which is 10 tens) gives: 2 hundreds and 12 tens. Now subtract the tens: 12 - 4 = 8. Finally, subtract the hundreds place: 2 - 2 = 0. So, 328 - 245 = 83. Step 5: State the final answer. Emma has 83 more stickers than Liam.
