    The correct answer is 34 < 45 because the symbol "<" represents "less than" and 34 is indeed less than 45. "34 is less than 45" means that 34 is a smaller number than 45. Imagine if you have 34 candies and your friend has 45 candies. Your friend has more candies than you do because 45 is a bigger number than 34. So we say 34 is less than 45.

    1 dime = 2 nickels (since each nickel is worth 5 cents)
