Answer 5

Well, you should draw everything out first.

Answer 6

Do you know the difference between numerators and denominators?

Answer 7

numerator is top and denominator is bottom

Answer 8

the bottom number is usually bigger

Answer 9

The size of the numerator and denominator vary.. If the bottom number was larger, it would result in a fraction less than one.

Anyway, from your answer choices, you can cancel out a, b, and d because means and extremes are not mentioned anywhere in this problem, and the question asks for b & c not b & d
