Look at the two numbers. Look at the two numbers.
Comparing the digits, starting from the Comparing the digits, starting from the
highest place value, we can see that 8 is highest place value, we can see that 5 is
more than 7. more than 2.
Therefore, we can say that the left side is Therefore, we can say that the right side
more than the right side. is more than the left side.
Thus, it is CORRECT to say that 87 is Thus, it is CORRECT to say that 25 is less
greater than 78. than 52.
