Answer:

Five pencils and two marches are worth greater than thirty paper clips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be paper clip.

Let 'y' be a match

and let 'z' be a pencil.

Now, let's write each statement as an equation:

Each paper clip can be traded for three matches:

x = 3y

Each pencil can be traded for six paper clips:

z = 6x

Now, five pencils equals 30 paper clips and two matches equals two thirds papel clips.

Answer: Hello there!

We know that:

one paper clip is equivalent to 3 matches.

one pencil is equivalent to 6 paper clips.

Now we want to know the relation between 5 pencils + 2 matches and 30 paper clips

in the first set, we have 5 pencils, and each pencil is equivalent to 6 paper clips.

Then these 5 pencils are equivalent to 5*6 = 30 paper clips.

now we have 30 paper clips + 2 matches and 30 paper clips

Is easy to see that 30 paper clips and 2 matches are worth more than just 30 paper clips

then the statement is "

"the worth of five pencils and two matches is greater than one of thirty paper clips"
