The question in the image asks:

"**Francine and her family drive 1,312 miles for a vacation. Emily and her family drive 1,212 miles for vacation. How can you use place value to determine the difference in the number of miles Francine and Emily's families drive on vacation?**"

To solve this using place value, we compare each digit in the numbers 1,312 and 1,212:

- In the **thousands place**, both Francine and Emily have 1, so there's no difference here.
- In the **hundreds place**, Francine has 3, and Emily has 2. The difference here is \( 3 - 2 = 1 \), which corresponds to 100 miles.
- In the **tens place** and **ones place**, both Francine and Emily have the same digits (1 and 2), so there's no further difference.

Thus, the difference in the number of miles is 100 miles, which can be determined by the difference in the hundreds place.

Here are five related questions:
1. What would the difference be if Francine drove 1,412 miles instead?
2. How does the process change when comparing numbers with different digits in the tens place?
3. What is the largest possible difference if Francine's family drove more miles than Emily's family?
4. Can this method work for larger numbers with more digits?
5. How would you explain the place value concept to someone new to it?

**Tip:** Always break down numbers by place value when comparing differences to ensure clarity and accuracy!

Francine and her family drive 1,312 miles for a vacation. Emily and her family drive 1,212 miles for vacation. How can you use place value to determine the difference in the number of miles Francine and Emily's families drive on vacation?

Learn how to compare the miles driven by Francine and Emily's families using place value. The difference in their distances, 1,312 and 1,212 miles, can be found by comparing the hundreds place.
