Final answer:
The question requires comparing different ways of expressing numbers, and using the greater than (>) or less than (<) symbols to show the relation between them.
After analyzing and rewriting the numbers into standard numerical form, we can determine which symbol to use for each pair.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to compare several numbers using the symbols > (greater than) or < (less than). Here's the analysis of each comparison:
- 6,043 vs 3 + 400 + 6,000: Adding the numbers on the right gives us 6,403, which is the same as the left side.
So neither > nor < will be used; instead, we would use =.
- 44 hundreds vs 4,000 + 40 + 600: First, we convert '44 hundreds' to a number, which is 4,400.
The sum on the right is 4,640. So 4,400 < 4,640, which means 44 hundreds < 4,000 + 40 + 600.
- 8,450 vs 32 hundreds: Again, '32 hundreds' converts to 3,200.
Since 8,450 is greater, we have 8,450 > 32 hundreds.
- 5 thousands vs 8,450: '5 thousands' is 5,000, which is less than 8,450.
Thus, 5,000 < 8,450.
