Question

1. Complete the comparison: 3+ 7 > ? A. 10-2 B.9 + 4 C. 7+3 D. 8 + 2

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. 10 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's make all the comparisons for the four alternatives:

A.  3 + 7 > 10 - 2 ⇒ 10 > 8, the comparison is correct because 10 is bigger than 8.

B.  3 + 7 > 9 + 4 ⇒ 10 > 13, the comparison is not correct because 10 is less than 13.

C.  3 + 7 > 7 + 3 ⇒ 10 > 10, the comparison is not correct because 10 is equal to 10.

D.  3 + 7 > 8 + 2 ⇒ 10 > 10, the comparison is not correct because 10 is equal to 10.

The only correct comparison is A. 10 - 2.
