2 Tens + 4 Thousands + 3 Hundreds ___ 4320
2 Tens + 4 Thousands + 3 Hundreds = 20 + 4000 + 300 = 4320. So 4320 = 4320.
2 Thousands + 9 Hundreds + 9 Tens + 9 Ones ___ 3000
2 Thousands + 9 Hundreds + 9 Tens + 9 Ones = 2000 + 900 + 90 + 9 = 2999. So 2999 < 3000.
15 Ones + 9 Tens + 3 Hundreds ___ 1593
15 Ones + 9 Tens + 3 Hundreds = 15 + 90 + 300 = 405. So 405 < 1593.
5000 + 30 + 4 ___ 5034
5000 + 30 + 4 = 5034. So 5034 = 5034.
5000 + 300 + 4 ___ 5340
5000 + 300 + 4 = 5304. So 5304 < 5340.
