MethodTo find out the answer to this, you could do it one of 2 ways.
1. You could change both to a decimal and subtract them or
2. You could treat them as fractions and subtract one from the other.
Argument.<em>Method One</em>
9/12 = 3/4 = 0.75 You could let your calculator do that
1/3 = 0.3333333
0.75 - 0.3333333 = 0.4166667
9/12 is bigger because you get a positive answer.
<em>Method 2</em>
Or you could stick with the fractions
9/12 - 1/3
You need to put the 1/3 into a fraction over 12
9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12.
9/12 is still bigger because you get a positive result.
CommentEither way can be done on a calculator, but both indicate that 9/12 > 1/3

24 • 24= 576 and 25 • 25= 625
76 • 76= 5,776 and 77 • 77= 5, 929
242 • 242= 58, 564 and 243 • 243= 59, 049√
766 • 766= 586, 756 and 767 • 767=588, 298
( by the way,
I'm squaring it because it's a square.)

3x -5≥ 5x-25
-3x. -3x
-----------------
---> -5 ≥2x -25
+25. +25
---------------------
---->20≥2x
20/2 ≥ 2x/2
----->10≥x, the greatest 'x' can be is 10.
For the explicit formulae, the final answers are boxed.
