A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
We know that:
√36 = 6√49 = 7Since 38 is BETWEEN
36 and
49, we know that √38 must be BETWEEN
6 and
7So, we can say √38 =
6.somethingLikewise, since 45 is BETWEEN
36 and
49, we know that √45 must be BETWEEN
6 and
7So, we can say √45 =
6.somethingWe get:
QUANTITY A:
6.something +
6.somethingQUANTITY B: 12
Quantity A is greater.
Answer: A
Cheers,
Brent
