Why is 8 > 3? Will medal. I need an extremely detailed answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the answer. But I feel like it's a trick question and they actually want me to explain. SO silly.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

8 is greater than 3 because 8 is bigger than three. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It needs to be detailed >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My guess is whoever asked this question is more interested in how you approach the answer than your actual conclusions... Perhaps reading this page or similar ones may give you some ideas? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals

Ah nice! I'll see what my results are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hehe, turns out he just wanted the answer. He warned me for being sarcastic with my detailed answer lol @jtstrumpf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) sounds good to me, either way I actually do think that trying to explain why 8>3 is actually tricky!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, well thank you anyways!
