Question

problem 5. for each pair of numbers, circle the number that is greater. a. 11² or 13² b. 3³ or 4.3² c. 5³ or 10²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the values of the numbers in each pair

For pair a: $11^{2}=11\times11 = 121$ and $13^{2}=13\times13=169$, so $13^{2}$ is greater.
For pair b: $3^{3}=3\times3\times3 = 27$ and $4.3^{2}=4.3\times4.3 = 18.49$, so $3^{3}$ is greater.
For pair c: $5^{3}=5\times5\times5=125$ and $10^{2}=10\times10 = 100$, so $5^{3}$ is greater.

Answer:

a. $13^{2}$
b. $3^{3}$
c. $5^{3}$
