Answer Key & Explanations

Compare Three-Digit Numbers · Grade 2 · Worksheet 1

  1. Which is greater: 418 or 664? Answer: 664 Solution: Compare the numbers: 418 and 664. 664 is the larger number.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the numbers: 418 and 664. Step 2: 664 is the larger number. The answer is 664.

  2. Isabella and Charlotte were collecting seashells at the beach. Isabella found 613 seashells. Charlotte found 631 seashells. Who found more seashells? Answer: Charlotte Solution: Look at the hundreds place of both numbers. Isabella has 6 hundreds (600) and Charlotte has 6 hundreds (600). They are equal.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Look at the hundreds place of both numbers. Isabella has 6 hundreds (600) and Charlotte has 6 hundreds (600). They are equal. Step 2: Since the hundreds are the same, look at the tens place. Isabella has 1 ten (10) and Charlotte has 3 tens (30). Step 3: Compare the tens: 30 is greater than 10, so 631 is greater than 613. Step 4: Therefore, Charlotte found more seashells than Isabella. The answer is Charlotte.

  3. Which is greater: 889 or 189? Answer: 889 Solution: Compare the numbers: 889 and 189. 889 is the larger number.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the numbers: 889 and 189. Step 2: 889 is the larger number. The answer is 889.

  4. Sam collected 128 colorful leaves in the park. His sister Lily collected 142 leaves. Who collected more leaves? Answer: A. Lily Solution: Sam collected 128 leaves. Lily collected 142 leaves. Compare the hundreds place first.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Sam collected 128 leaves. Lily collected 142 leaves. Step 2: Compare the hundreds place first. Both numbers have 1 hundred, so they are the same. Step 3: Compare the tens place next. Sam's number has 2 tens (20). Lily's number has 4 tens (40). Since 40 is greater than 20, Lily's number is greater. Step 4: Therefore, Lily collected more leaves. The correct answer is Lily.

  5. Emma and Liam are comparing their collections of toy cars. Emma has 380 toy cars, and Liam has 350 toy cars. Who has more toy cars? Answer: Emma Solution: Compare the hundreds place. Emma has 3 hundreds (300) and Liam has 3 hundreds (300). They are equal.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds place. Emma has 3 hundreds (300) and Liam has 3 hundreds (300). They are equal. Step 2: Compare the tens place. Emma has 8 tens (80) and Liam has 5 tens (50). Since 80 is greater than 50, Emma's number is larger. Step 3: Therefore, Emma has more toy cars than Liam. The answer is Emma.

  6. Which number is greater: 432 or 423? Answer: C. 432 Solution: Compare the hundreds place: Both numbers have 4 hundreds, so they are equal so far Compare the tens place: 432 has 3 tens, 423 has 2 tens Since 3 tens is greater than 2 tens, 432 is greater than 423 The correct answer is 432
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds place: Both numbers have 4 hundreds, so they are equal so far Step 2: Compare the tens place: 432 has 3 tens, 423 has 2 tens Step 3: Since 3 tens is greater than 2 tens, 432 is greater than 423 Step 4: The correct answer is 432

  7. 324 > 298 = ? Answer: B. true Solution: Write the numbers one above the other for easy comparison. 324 298 Compare the digits from left to right. 324 has 3 hundreds.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Let's compare the two numbers step by step. Step 1: Write the numbers one above the other for easy comparison. 324 298 Step 2: Compare the digits from left to right. First digit (hundreds place): 324 has 3 hundreds. 298 has 2 hundreds. Step 3: Since 3 > 2, the number with more hundreds is larger. We don't need to check the tens and ones places because the hundreds digit already tells us 324 is greater than 298. Step 4: Therefore, the statement "324 > 298" is true. Final answer: true

  8. Isabella and Mason are comparing their collections of toy cars. Isabella has 472 toy cars, and Mason has 427 toy cars. Who has more toy cars? Answer: Isabella Solution: Compare the hundreds digits. Isabella has 4 hundreds (400) and Mason has 4 hundreds (400). They are equal.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds digits. Isabella has 4 hundreds (400) and Mason has 4 hundreds (400). They are equal. Step 2: Compare the tens digits. Isabella has 7 tens (70) and Mason has 2 tens (20). Since 70 is greater than 20, Isabella's number is larger. Step 3: Therefore, Isabella has more toy cars than Mason. The answer is Isabella.

  9. Mason collected 572 pebbles from the beach. His friend Charlotte collected 527 pebbles. Who collected more pebbles? Answer: Mason Solution: Compare the hundreds place. Mason has 5 hundreds (500) and Charlotte has 5 hundreds (500). They are equal.
