The answer is Greater than :D

Answer:

Two pencils and two paper clips are worth greater than thirty-eight matches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each paper clip can be traded for three matches.

Then 2 paper clips can be traded for [tex]2\times3=6[/tex] matches.

Each pencil can be traded for six paper clips.

Then 2 pencils can be traded for [tex]2\times6=12[/tex] paper clips.

In terms of paper clips, we can write 12 paper clips and two paper clips are worth (As 2 pencils are equal to 12 paper clips)....

This makes a total of [tex]2+12=14[/tex] paper clips.

Now as 2 paper clips are traded for 6 matches, then 14 paper clips are traded for = [tex]\frac{6}{2}\times14=42[/tex] matches.

We can say that : Two pencils and two paper clips are worth greater than thirty-eight matches.
