Question

The two digit numbers that are 8 and 3 how can you tell which one is greater

Answer 1

Count backwards from 10 until you reach the number. for 8 you count 10,9,8 and for 3 you count 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3. 8 is greater because it took less time to get there from 10. you could also count up from 0 (0,1,2,3 or 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8). If you count from 0, the greatest is the one that takes the most amount of time
