which sign makes the statement true? 12\\frac{1}{5}? 3\\pi

Answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed - number to decimal

$12\frac{1}{5}=12 + \frac{1}{5}=12+0.2 = 12.2$

Step2: Approximate the value of $3\pi$

We know that $\pi\approx3.14$, so $3\pi\approx3\times3.14 = 9.42$

Step3: Compare the two values

Since $12.2>9.42$, the sign is $>$.
