Question

Replace each ? with the symbol = or ≠ to make the statement true. a. 54 ? 53 b. 8 ? 4 + 4 c. 23 + 6 ? 6 + 23 d. 64 ? 99

Answer 1

A. ≠ (54 is greater than 53 are not equal.)
B. = (8 and 4+4 are the same.)
C. = (Flipping the numbers in an addition problem is still the same problem, so it is equal.)
D. ≠ (64 is less than 99.)

Answer 2

Hiya!

a. 54 ≠ 53
54 is greater than 53, so therefore, it is not equal to 53

b. 8 = 4 + 4
4 + 4 = 8 and 8 is equal to 8

c. 23 + 6 = 6 + 23
23 + 6 is equal to 6 + 23 because the numbers are the same, but they're just switched around.

d. 64 ≠ 99
64 is less than 99, so therefore, it is not equal to 99
