Which is greater three sets of (5-2) or two sets of (2+3)
two sets of (2+3) because that is 5 times 2 which is ten. The other is 3 times three which is 9
Answer: Two sets of (2+3) is greater than three sets of (5-2).
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the greater number number out of the following two numbers :
" three sets of (5-2) or two sets of (2+3)".
To find the greater number, first we need to simplify both the numbers.
We have
\(\textup{three sets of }(5-2)\\\\=3\times(5-2)\\\\=3\times3\\\\=9\)
and
\(\textup{two sets of }(2+3)\\\\=2\times(2+3)\\\\=2\times5\\\\=10.\)
We know that
10 > 9, so we get
Two sets of (2+3) is greater than three sets of (5-2).
