Question

For each pair of numbers, select thenumber that is greater.Show Your Work

Answer 1

`15^2\text{ is greater}`

Here, we want to select the greater number in the pair

Generally, in cases like this, the best thing to do is to multiply out the numbers and compare the results

For the question at hand, we know quite well that 15 is greater than 13

So it is only natural that the square of 15 would be greater than the square of 13
