Emma thinks that the number in
Group C is greater than the number in Group D. Is this true or false?
Let’s start by looking at the
number in Group C. How many tens does this number
have? It just has one ten. So we can write a one in the tens
column. How many ones does this number
have? One, two, three, four, five. So we can write a five in the ones
column. The number in Group C is the number
15. One ten and five ones makes 15.
Now, let’s look at the number in
Group D. How many tens does this number
have? There are two tens. Now, let’s count the ones. One, two, three, four, five. Both numbers have five ones. The number in Group D is the number
25. Two tens and five ones makes
25.
Emma thinks that the number in
Group C, which is 15, is greater than the number in Group D, which is 25. Is she correct? Is 15 greater than 25? One ten is less than two tens, so
the number 15 is less than 25. Emma’s statement is false. 15 isn’t greater than 25. It’s less than 25. The correct answer is “false.”
