what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

When you divide fractions, like 1/4 divided by 1/4, the answer is a larger number than 1/4. so i think you are correct

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

Quotients can be greater at times

OpenStudy (amistre64):

d/n = q let d=a/b let n = x/y let q > d \[\frac{a/b}{x/y}>\frac ab\] \[\frac{ay}{bx}>\frac ab\] if x=1. and y>0, then this would satisfy that q > d 2/3 --- = 4/3 1/2 so A is fine

OpenStudy (amistre64):

as long as x<y, this would make q>d
