Compare [tex]\sqrt{130}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{111}{8}[/tex] using [tex]\ \textless \ , \ \textgreater \ ,[/tex] or [tex]=[/tex].

A. [tex]\frac{111}{8} \ \textless \ \sqrt{130}[/tex]
B. [tex]\sqrt{130} \ \textgreater \ \frac{111}{8}[/tex]
C. [tex]\frac{111}{8} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{130}[/tex]
D. [tex]\sqrt{130} = \frac{111}{8}[/tex]



Answer :

To compare [tex]\(\sqrt{130}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{111}{8}\)[/tex], we need to determine their numerical values and then directly compare them.

1. First, calculate the value of [tex]\(\sqrt{130}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{130} \approx 11.40175425099138 \][/tex]

2. Next, calculate the value of [tex]\(\frac{111}{8}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{111}{8} = 13.875 \][/tex]

3. Now, compare the two values:
[tex]\[ 11.40175425099138 < 13.875 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct comparison is:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{130} < \frac{111}{8} \][/tex]

Hence, the correct statement is:
[tex]\[ \frac{111}{8} > \sqrt{130} \][/tex]
