Question

circle any number sentences that are true.
24 ≠ 24 \t\t43 < 34 \t\t56 < 65 \t\t78 = 87

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze \(24

eq 24\)
The symbol \(
eq\) means "not equal to". But \(24\) is equal to \(24\), so this number sentence is false.

Step2: Analyze \(43 < 34\)

To compare two - digit numbers, we first compare the tens place. The tens digit of \(43\) is \(4\) and the tens digit of \(34\) is \(3\). Since \(4>3\), \(43 > 34\), so this number sentence is false.

Step3: Analyze \(56 < 65\)

Compare the tens digits first. The tens digit of \(56\) is \(5\) and the tens digit of \(65\) is \(6\). Since \(5 < 6\), we can conclude that \(56<65\), so this number sentence is true.

Step4: Analyze \(78 = 87\)

Compare the tens digits: the tens digit of \(78\) is \(7\) and the tens digit of \(87\) is \(8\). Since \(7
eq8\), \(78
eq87\), so this number sentence is false.

Answer:

We circle the number sentence \(56 < 65\)
