tell of each is greater than, less than, equal to 1,000.
8 boxes of 1000 counters.
Wouldn't eight boxes have more "counters" than one?
What is a counter, anyway?
they were using different objects and this happen to be one of them.
To determine whether 8 boxes of 1000 counters are greater than, less than, or equal to 1000, we need to perform a comparison of the total number of counters in the boxes with the number 1000.
First, we calculate the total number of counters:
8 boxes * 1000 counters per box = 8000 counters
Now, we compare the total number of counters with 1000:
8000 counters > 1000
So, 8 boxes of 1000 counters are greater than 1000.
