Question

Which is greater three sets of (5-2) or two sets of (2+3)

Answer 1

Two sets of (2+3) because that is 5 times 2 which is ten. The other is 3 times three which is 9

Answer 2

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).
