Looking at the worksheet titled “Place Value Comparison,” we are asked to compare sets of base-10 blocks (hundreds, tens, and ones) by writing the correct symbol: > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to).
Let’s go row by row and figure out the value on each side.
---
Row 1:
Left side: 3 hundreds (300) + 2 tens (20) + 5 ones (5) =
325
Right side: 2 hundreds (200) + 4 tens (40) + 6 ones (6) =
246
Compare: 325 vs 246 → 325 is greater → use
>
---
Row 2:
Left side: 4 hundreds (400) + 3 tens (30) + 7 ones (7) =
437
Right side: 3 hundreds (300) + 5 tens (50) + 9 ones (9) =
359
Compare: 437 vs 359 → 437 is greater → use
>

Row 3:
Left side: 2 hundreds (200) + 8 tens (80) + 4 ones (4) =
284
Right side: 2 hundreds (200) + 8 tens (80) + 4 ones (4) =
284
Compare: 284 vs 284 → they are equal → use
=
---
Row 4:
Left side: 1 hundred (100) + 5 tens (50) + 3 ones (3) =
153
Right side: 1 hundred (100) + 5 tens (50) + 3 ones (3) =
153
Compare: 153 vs 153 → equal → use
=
---
Row 5:
Left side: 5 hundreds (500) + 2 tens (20) + 6 ones (6) =
526
Right side: 4 hundreds (400) + 9 tens (90) + 8 ones (8) =
498
Compare: 526 vs 498 → 526 is greater → use
>
---
Row 6:
Left side: 3 hundreds (300) + 1 ten (10) + 9 ones (9) =
319
Right side: 3 hundreds (300) + 2 tens (20) + 0 ones (0) =
320
Compare: 319 vs 320 → 319 is less → use
<
---
Row 7:
Left side: 2 hundreds (200) + 0 tens + 0 ones =
200
Right side: 1 hundred (100) + 9 tens (90) + 9 ones (9) =
199
Compare: 200 vs 199 → 200 is greater → use
>
---
Row 8:
Left side: 1 hundred (100) + 0 tens + 0 ones =
100
Right side: 0 hundreds + 9 tens (90) + 9 ones (9) =
99
Compare: 100 vs 99 → 100 is greater → use
>

Now let’s list all the answers in order from top to bottom:
> , > , = , = , > , < , > , >
Final Answer:
> > = = > < > >
