🎯 How to Solve:
To order numbers from greatest to least:
1. Look at the
hundreds digit first (if different).
2. If hundreds are same, compare
tens digits.
3. Then
ones digits if needed.
4. Arrange in descending order.
For example:
In Box 1: 652 vs 625 → both start with 6, so compare tens: 5 > 2 → 652 > 625.
This method works for all three-digit numbers.
