Answer Key & Explanations

Compare Three-Digit Numbers · Grade 2 · Worksheet 3

  1. Which is greater: 365 or 305? Answer: 365 Solution: Compare the numbers: 365 and 305. 365 is the larger number.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the numbers: 365 and 305. Step 2: 365 is the larger number. The answer is 365.

  2. Which is greater: 316 or 118? Answer: 316 Solution: Compare the numbers: 316 and 118. 316 is the larger number.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the numbers: 316 and 118. Step 2: 316 is the larger number. The answer is 316.

  3. Liam has 245 stickers in his collection. His friend Emma has 328 stickers. Who has more stickers, and how many more do they have? Answer: Emma has 83 more stickers Solution: Identify the number of stickers each person has. Liam has 245 stickers. Emma has 328 stickers.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Let's compare how many stickers Liam and Emma have. Step 1: Identify the number of stickers each person has. Liam has 245 stickers. Emma has 328 stickers. Step 2: Compare the two numbers to see who has more. 328 is greater than 245, so Emma has more stickers. Step 3: Find the difference to see how many more stickers Emma has. We subtract Liam's stickers from Emma's stickers: 328 - 245 = ? Step 4: Perform the subtraction. We can break it down: First, subtract the ones place: 8 - 5 = 3. Next, subtract the tens place: 2 - 4. Since 2 is smaller than 4, we need to borrow from the hundreds place. 328 becomes 3 hundreds, 2 tens, and 8 ones. Borrowing 1 hundred (which is 10 tens) gives: 2 hundreds and 12 tens. Now subtract the tens: 12 - 4 = 8. Finally, subtract the hundreds place: 2 - 2 = 0. So, 328 - 245 = 83. Step 5: State the final answer. Emma has 83 more stickers than Liam.

  4. Liam has 245 stickers in his collection. His friend Emma has 267 stickers. Who has more stickers, and how many more do they have? Answer: Emma has 22 more stickers Solution: Identify the number of stickers each person has. Liam has 245 stickers. Emma has 267 stickers.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Identify the number of stickers each person has. Liam has 245 stickers. Emma has 267 stickers. Step 2: Compare the two numbers to see who has more. 267 is greater than 245, so Emma has more stickers. Step 3: Find the difference between Emma's stickers and Liam's stickers. Subtract Liam's stickers from Emma's stickers: 267 - 245 = ? Step 4: Perform the subtraction step-by-step. First, subtract the ones place: 7 - 5 = 2. Next, subtract the tens place: 6 - 4 = 2. Finally, subtract the hundreds place: 2 - 2 = 0. So, 267 - 245 = 22. Step 5: State the final answer. Emma has 22 more stickers than Liam.

  5. Emma collected 573 seashells at the beach. Her friend Liam collected 537 seashells. Who has more seashells? Answer: Emma Solution: Compare the hundreds digits. Emma has 5 hundreds (500) and Liam has 5 hundreds (500). They are equal.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds digits. Emma has 5 hundreds (500) and Liam has 5 hundreds (500). They are equal. Step 2: Compare the tens digits. Emma has 7 tens (70) and Liam has 3 tens (30). Since 70 is greater than 30, Emma's number is larger. Step 3: Therefore, Emma has more seashells than Liam. The answer is Emma.

  6. 324 < 398 = ? Answer: A. true Solution: Compare the hundreds place: Both numbers have 3 hundreds, so they are equal so far. Compare the tens place: 324 has 2 tens, 398 has 9 tens. Since 2 is less than 9, 324 is less than 398.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds place: Both numbers have 3 hundreds, so they are equal so far. Step 2: Compare the tens place: 324 has 2 tens, 398 has 9 tens. Since 2 is less than 9, 324 is less than 398. Step 3: Therefore, the statement 324 < 398 is true.

  7. Look at the pattern of blocks: There are 3 rows with 8 blocks in each row. Which number sentence shows how many blocks there are in total? Answer: C. 3 × 8 Solution: There are 3 rows of blocks Each row has 8 blocks When you have equal groups, you can multiply to find the total 3 groups × 8 in each group = 24 blocks total The number sentence 3 × 8 shows this multiplication The correct answer is 3 × 8.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: There are 3 rows of blocks Step 2: Each row has 8 blocks Step 3: When you have equal groups, you can multiply to find the total Step 4: 3 groups × 8 in each group = 24 blocks total Step 5: The number sentence 3 × 8 shows this multiplication The correct answer is 3 × 8.

  8. Noah's class went on a field trip to the science museum. The bus had 421 seats, and 407 students and teachers rode on it. Which number is greater: the number of seats on the bus or the number of people riding? Answer: 421 Solution: Compare the hundreds digits. Both numbers have 4 hundreds, so they are equal so far. Compare the tens digits.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Compare the hundreds digits. Both numbers have 4 hundreds, so they are equal so far. Step 2: Compare the tens digits. 421 has 2 tens (20) and 407 has 0 tens (0). Since 2 is greater than 0, 421 is greater than 407. Step 3: Therefore, the number of seats (421) is greater than the number of people (407). The answer is 421.
