Question for the week: Last week’s question did not get answered, so here it is again,
Less than, greater than, or equal? Why? 56 x 24 __ 54 x 26

I think the answer is 54 times 26 is the answer because I solve it and because you look at the last digit to see which one is bigger.
Well the last digit of 56 is bigger than 24? How does multiplying by 26 make the 54 bigger?–Ms. Mercer

I think the answer is 54 x 26 because it has a bigger answer.
Why is it bigger? You were supposed to explain this, not just solve it. Good try though.–Ms. Mercer

I think the anwer is 54 times 26 because the numbers are greater.
Which number is greater?–Ms. Mercer
