Question

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

Answer 1

You have the following expression:

`(1)/(4)(3\cdot7)`

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

Then, you get this product:

`(1)/(4)(3\cdot7)=(1)/(4)(21)=(21)/(4)`

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

`=5.25`

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

`(3\cdot7)=21`

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

`\begin{gathered} (3\cdot7)>(1)/(4)(3\cdot7) \\ 21>5.25 \end{gathered}`
