Final answer:
The correct comparisons among the given pairs of numbers are B) 34,948 ≥ 34,824, and D) 23,294 = 23,294, where the first is due to the higher number in the hundreds place and the second is an equality of the same number.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which comparison among a list of pairs of numbers is true. To solve this, we compare each pair of numbers directly. Here's how we will determine which comparison is accurate:
- For comparison A) 284,924 ≥ 293,820, we can see that the second number starts with a '2' followed by '9', which is greater than the '8' in the first number's tens of thousands place. So this is not true.
- For comparison B) 34,948 ≥ 34,824, both numbers start with '34', but the hundreds place in the first number is '9' and in the second is '8', making the first number larger. This comparison is true.
- For comparison C) 48,681 ≤ 48,592, the first number has a '8' in the hundreds place while the second has '5', this means that the first number is greater, making this comparison not true.
- For comparison D) 23,294 = 23,294, this is simply stating that a number is equal to itself, which is always true.
Therefore, the comparison that is true among the given options is B) 34,948 ≥ 34,824 and D) 23,294 = 23,294.
