(b) 34, 40, 24
(c) 392, 30, 38
(d) 34, 30, 24

Answer 1

To fill the blanks with the greater number for each pair from the given options, we choose option (a) which provides 392, 40, and 38 as the greater numbers relative to 34, 30, and 24 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires filling in the blanks with the greater number. We can identify the correct set of numbers by comparing the given numbers with the options available:

1. For the first pair (34 and ____), we need a number greater than 34.
2. For the second pair (____ and 30), we need a number greater than 30.
3. For the third pair (24 and 38), 38 is already the greater number.

Let's evaluate each option:

• (a) 392, 40, 38
• (b) 34, 40, 24
• (c) 392, 30, 38
• (d) 34, 30, 24

Option (a) fills all the blanks with the correct greater numbers.

Therefore, filling in the blanks with option (a) would look like this:

1. 34 and 392
2. 40 and 30
3. 24 and 38

Each blank is filled with the number that is greater than the number before the blank.
