Math Problem Statement

Select all the comparisons that are true.

Solution

Let’s go over the comparisons in the image to determine which are true.

  1. 7>3.3\sqrt{7} > 3.3

    • 72.645751\sqrt{7} \approx 2.645751, and 3.33.3 is greater than this.
    • This is false.
  2. 3π>83\pi > 8

    • 3π9.4247773\pi \approx 9.424777, and 9.42>89.42 > 8.
    • This is true.
  3. 2<710\sqrt{2} < \frac{7}{10}

    • 21.414\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414, and 710=0.7\frac{7}{10} = 0.7.
    • Since 1.414>0.71.414 > 0.7, this is false.
  4. 54<2\frac{5}{4} < 2

    • 54=1.25\frac{5}{4} = 1.25, and 1.25<21.25 < 2.
    • This is true.
  5. 101<9.8\sqrt{101} < 9.8

    • 10110.05\sqrt{101} \approx 10.05, and 10.05>9.810.05 > 9.8.
    • This is false.

Correct Comparisons:

  • 3π>83\pi > 8
  • 54<2\frac{5}{4} < 2
