Question

Which statement correctly compares 4⋅10−10 and 3⋅[44−3⋅(6+6)]? a.4⋅10−10=3⋅[44−3⋅(6+6)] ​ b.4⋅10−10<3⋅[44−3⋅(6+6)] ​ or c. 4⋅10−10>3⋅[44−3⋅(6+6)] ​

Answer 1

answer would be C.

hope this helped -3-

Answer 2

In order to find the answer, we firstly have to solve both expressions:

For the first expression:

4(10)−10 = 40-10=30

For the second expression (taking into account that the order to solve is: the parenthesis first, then the square bracket and finally the braces or curly brackets if there is any):

3[44−3(6+6)]=3[44−3(12)]= 3[44−36]= 3[8]=24

Comparing the results of both expressions we know the first is greater than the second:

`30>24`

Therefore, the right answer is c:

4(10)−10
`>`3[44−3(6+6)]
