611 621

key idea

>		greater than
<		less than
=		equals

solution

First, count the number of digits in each number. There are 3 digits in each number. They have the same number of digits.

Compare the hundreds digits. The hundreds digit in 611 is 6. The hundreds digit in 621 is 6. They have the same hundreds digit.

Now compare the tens digits. The tens digit in 611 is 1. The tens digit in 621 is 2. 1 is less than 2.

611 is less than 621.

Use the less-than sign:

611 < 621
