Question

Select the expression that has a quitiont greater than 1. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

The answer is 3 1/8 divided by 2 2/5. What I did was turn all of them into improper fractions then divided (which is basically cross-multiply). By doing so, you would have 14/3 divided by 21/4 which equals 0.8888888 or 8/9 in fraction form, 25/8 divided by 12/5 which equals 1.30208333 or 1 29/96, 13/7 divided by 7/3 which equals 0.79591836 or 39/49, and 23/4 divided by 59/8 which equals 0.77966101 or 46/59
