Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem a)
Left fish: 3788 + 2910 - 1348
→ First, add: 3788 + 2910 = 6698
→ Then subtract: 6698 - 1348 =
5350
Right fish: 2094 more than 5178
→ That means: 5178 + 2094 =
7272
Compare: 5350 vs 7272 → 5350 < 7272
So, tick the
< symbol.
---
Problem b)
Left fish: 1185 more than 4067
→ 4067 + 1185 =
5252
Right fish: 8019 - 6728 + 3167
→ First subtract: 8019 - 6728 = 1291
→ Then add: 1291 + 3167 =
4458
Compare: 5252 vs 4458 → 5252 > 4458
So, tick the
> symbol.
---
Problem c)
Left fish: 2205 + 5197 - 4863
→ Add first: 2205 + 5197 = 7402
→ Subtract: 7402 - 4863 =
2539
Right fish: 3646 less than 6185
→ That means: 6185 - 3646 =
2539
Compare: 2539 vs 2539 → They are equal!
So, tick the
= symbol.
---
Problem d)
Left fish: 2468 less than 9618
→ 9618 - 2468 =
7150
Right fish: 6914 + 1099 - 3876
→ Add first: 6914 + 1099 = 8013
→ Subtract: 8013 - 3876 =
4137
Compare: 7150 vs 4137 → 7150 > 4137
So, tick the
> symbol.
---
Problem e)
Left fish: 5075 - 2938 + 4918
→ Subtract first: 5075 - 2938 = 2137
→ Add: 2137 + 4918 =
7055
Right fish: 1568 more than 3095
→ 3095 + 1568 =
4663
Compare: 7055 vs 4663 → 7055 > 4663
So, tick the
> symbol.
