Comparing Whole Numbers

Why A is correct:
Your friend has 4 apples and you have 3 apples. Since 4 is greater than 3, your friend has more.

Why the others are wrong:
- B (Both have the same): You have 3 and your friend has 4—these are different amounts, not equal.
- C (You): You only have 3 apples, which is less than 4, so you don't have more.
- D (No one): Someone must have more since the amounts are different; this doesn't make sense here.

A. You is correct because you see 6 birds while your sister sees 5, and 6 is greater than 5.

B. Your sister is wrong—she sees fewer birds (5 < 6).

C. Both see the same is wrong—6 and 5 are different numbers, not equal.

D. No one doesn't make sense—someone definitely sees more birds.

Why A is correct:
Your brother collects 12 seashells and you collect 10. Since 12 is greater than 10, your brother has more.

Why the others are wrong:
- B (You): You only have 10, which is less than 12, so you don't collect more.
- C (Both collect the same): 10 and 12 are different amounts, not equal.
- D (No one): Someone definitely collects more—your brother does with his 12 seashells.

Why A (Bike) is correct:
A bike has 2 tires and a car has 4 tires, so 2 is fewer than 4.

Why the others are wrong:
- B (Car): A car has 4 tires, which is more, not fewer.
- C (Both): They don't have the same number of tires, so this doesn't apply.
- D (None): Both vehicles have tires, so this answer makes no sense.

A. Creek is correct.

The creek is 50 miles and the river is 70 miles, so 50 < 70, making the creek shorter.

Why the others are wrong:
- B (River): The river is longer, not shorter.
- C (Both): They're different lengths, so one must be shorter than the other.
- D (None): One of them is definitely shorter, so this doesn't apply.
