is 1/4×(3×7) greater than less than or equal to (3×7)

Sagot :

You have the following expression:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}(3\cdot7)[/tex]

You need to evaluate. First multiply the numbers inside the parentheses and then multiply the result with the fraction.

Then, you get this product:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}(3\cdot7)=\frac{1}{4}(21)=\frac{21}{4}[/tex]

Now divide the numerator by the denominator to get the number in decimal form:

[tex]=5.25[/tex]

Evaluate the second expression by solving the multiplication. You get that its product is:

[tex](3\cdot7)=21[/tex]

As you can notice, 21 is greater than 5.25 , therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (3\cdot7)>\frac{1}{4}(3\cdot7) \\ 21>5.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]
