Question

If GH = 3 and HJ = 5, then G ___ J.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is as follows.

          GH = 3 and HJ = 5

Therefore, simplify for H from both the equations as follows.

          H = $\frac{3}{G}$   .......... (1)

and,    H = $\frac{5}{J}$   .......... (2)

Equating both equation s(1) and (2), we get the following.

       $\frac{3}{G}$ = $\frac{5}{J}$

             G = $\frac{3J}{5}$

or,          G = 0.6J

This means that J will be 0.6 times greater than G.

Thus, we can conclude that G < J.

Answer 2

It will be less than
