(b)

Answer
Biggest to smallest: 494, 376, 294, 249, 67
Explanation
(a) First compare hundreds: 99 has no hundreds (smallest), 110 has 1 hundred, 207 has 2 hundreds, 389 has 3 hundreds, 456 has 4 hundreds (greatest). (b) First compare hundreds: 494 has 4 hundreds (greatest), 376 has 3 hundreds, 294 and 249 have 2 hundreds, 67 has no hundreds (smallest). Between 294 and 249: both have 2 hundreds, but 294 has 9 tens while 249 has 4 tens, so 294 > 249.
