Question

Consider the numbers 14.25 and 0.86. Part A Which operation would result in the greatest solution, addition or multiplication? Explain why. Part B Is there any way to divide these numbers in order to find a greater number than the solutions found in Part A? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

two numbers: 14.25 and 0.86

now since , the number 0.86 is lesser than 1 , its multiplication with any number would result in an lower number... so addition of 14.25 and 0.86 gives us a greater number.

in part B , if we divide 14.25 by 0.86 it would give a greater number than 14.25 as the divider is lesser than 1..
