Let's answer the given question step by step:
1. Convert the given numbers to their standard form:
- For the first number, "6 tens 1 one":
- "6 tens" means [tex]\(6 \times 10 = 60\)[/tex].
- "1 one" = 1.
- Adding these together, [tex]\(60 + 1 = 61\)[/tex].
So, the first number is 61.
- For the second number, "5 tens 16 ones":
- "5 tens" means [tex]\(5 \times 10 = 50\)[/tex].
- "16 ones" = 16.
- Adding these together, [tex]\(50 + 16 = 66\)[/tex].
So, the second number is 66.
2. Compare the two numbers:
- The first number is 61.
- The second number is 66.
- Now compare:
- Since 61 is less than 66, we write: "61 is less than 66".
3. Select the correct phrase:
- The correct comparison phrase between 61 and 66 is "is less than".
Therefore, the completed statement is:
```
6 tens 1 one
is less than
5 tens 16 ones.
```
