the mileage of 14,072 miles is less than 13,189 miles because the digit 2 in the ones place is less than the digit 9 in the ones place value.
the mileage of 13,189 miles is less than 14,072 miles because the digit 3 in the thousands place is less than the digit 4 in the thousands place value.
the mileage of 14,072 miles is less than 13,189 miles because the digit 7 in the tens place is less than the digit 8 in the tens place value.
remaining attempts: 1

Explanation:

To compare numbers by place value, start with the highest place value. For 13,189 and 14,072, the ten-thousands place is 1 for both. Next, the thousands place: 3 (in 13,189) is less than 4 (in 14,072), so 13,189 < 14,072. The other options either compare lower place values incorrectly or reverse the number relationship.

Answer:

The mileage of 13,189 miles is less than 14,072 miles because the digit 3 in the thousands place is less than the digit 4 in the thousands place value.
