- If tens digits are the same, then compare the ones digits.
Solution:
Observe that both numbers have three digits.
246 ____ 108
Comparing the hundreds digits:
We observe that both digits are NOT the same.
- The hundreds digit in the number 246 is 2.
- The hundreds digit in the number 108 is 1.
But, 2 is greater than 1.
So, 246 is greater than 108.
That is, 246 > 108.
