In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:
let x the number of pencils
y the number of pens
From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,
x = y + 9
From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,
x + y = 25
We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,
y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17
Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.

Yes, 3/4 is bigger than 3/5.
One way you can verify this is by drawing a bar model, and cut it into four. Color in three pieces.
Then, draw another bar model the same size as the first one, and cut it into five pieces.
Color in three pieces.
You can see that 3/4 has more shaded in area than 3/5.
Another way you can do this is by dividing the numerator by the denominator for both fractions.
Hope this helped.
