Column A Column B 3/4 + 3/4 (3/4)2
-
The quantity in Column A is greater
-
The quantity in Column B is greater
-
The two quantities are equal.
-
The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Column A (3/4 + 3/4) equals 1.5 or 3/2, while Column B ((3/4)²) equals 9/16 or approximately 0.5625. Since 1.5 is clearly greater than 0.5625, Column A has the greater quantity. This is a basic arithmetic comparison requiring understanding of fraction addition and squaring.
Column A is 3/4 + 3/4 = 1.5, while Column B is (3/4) squared = 9/16 = 0.5625. Since 1.5 is larger than 0.5625, Column A is the greater quantity. Squaring a proper fraction (between 0 and 1) always makes it smaller, which is why Column B ends up smaller than the simple sum in Column A.
