Question

1) In Math class Mike and Karen are looking at two numbers: 152 and 33 +. 53.

Mike thinks 152 is larger than 33 + 53. Karen thinks the numbers are equivalent.
Which student do you agree with? Show your work to explain your thinking.

Answer 1

Mike is right. 152 is larger than 33 + 53/

Explanation:

First we need to add 53 + 33 to see if it will equal up ro 152. So 53 + 33 = 86.

86 is less than 152, so Mike is correct and Karen is wrong, as usual.
