Let us compare 36 and 29. ruLe 2

When both the numbers
have two digits, compare
the tens digits first.

Circle the smaller number
36 29 in each pair.

Here, both 36 and 29 are of 2 digits. 30 44 46 25

But 2 tens is smaller than 3 tens. So, 29 < 36. 24 19 42 37

Let us compare 42 and 45.

ruLe 3

If the tens digits are the
same, compare the ones
digits.

42 45

Here, both numbers have the same tens digit.

But 2 ones is smaller than 5 ones. So, 42 < 45. Tips

Circle the smaller number in each pair. Numbers formed with 2 digits

43 40 37 31 are called two-digit numbers.
Numbers 10-99 are 2-digit

29 26 25 28 numbers.
