Just pasting it since my IRL pic is on the login I used.Don't bet. Prove it
Which number is larger? 3000 or 3724? Don't use mathematical methods.
3724 is larger than 3000.
One way to see this without using mathematical methods is to compare the number of digits in each number. 3724 has 4 digits, while 3000 has only 3 digits. Generally, a number with more digits is larger than a number with fewer digits, all else being equal. Therefore, 3724 is larger than 3000.
Which number is larger, 3000 or 3724? Only use mathematical methods.
To determine which number is larger between 3000 and 3724, we can subtract 3000 from 3724:
3724 - 3000 = 724
Since the result is positive, we know that 3724 is larger than 3000 by 724. Therefore, 3724 is the larger number.
So it was right both times, but the method without using "mathematical methods" was wrong.
