Practice comparing 2-digit numbers with this comprehensive math worksheet designed for elementary students.

Problem Description:

The task involves comparing two-digit numbers using the symbols `<`, `>`, or `=`. The worksheet is divided into three sections:

1. Section A: Compare pairs of two-digit numbers using `<`, `>`, or `=`.
2. Section B: Circle the greater number in each pair.
3. Section C: Circle the smaller number in each pair.

Solution:

#### Section A: Compare the numbers using `<`, `>`, or `=`
We need to compare each pair of numbers and determine whether the first number is less than (`<`), greater than (`>`), or equal to (`=`) the second number.

1. 85 vs. 85:
Both numbers are the same.
Answer: `=`

2. 76 vs. 94:
76 is less than 94.
Answer: `<`

3. 64 vs. 53:
64 is greater than 53.
Answer: `>`

4. 27 vs. 38:
27 is less than 38.
Answer: `<`

5. 21 vs. 35:
21 is less than 35.
Answer: `<`

6. 48 vs. 49:
48 is less than 49.
Answer: `<`

7. 94 vs. 94:
Both numbers are the same.
Answer: `=`

8. 69 vs. 52:
69 is greater than 52.
Answer: `>`

9. 36 vs. 39:
36 is less than 39.
Answer: `<`

10. 68 vs. 68:
Both numbers are the same.
Answer: `=`

Final Answers for Section A:
```
85 = 85
76 < 94
64 > 53
27 < 38
21 < 35
48 < 49
94 = 94
69 > 52
36 < 39
68 = 68
```
