Part B: Find the Missing Number
Write a number on the line that makes the statement true.
1. 40 < 42 < 45. Write a number that fits.
Any number between 40 and 45 works; 42 is one correct answer.
2. Order from greatest to least: 51, 15, 39. Answer: 51, 39, 15.
39 goes in the middle because 51 > 39 > 15.

Any number between 85 and 90 works; 87 is one correct answer.
4. Order from least to greatest: 94, 49, 72. Answer: 49, 72, 94.
72 goes in the middle because 49 < 72 < 94.

Any number between 22 and 28 works; 25 is one correct answer.
