The answer to this problem would be 2.5.
Divide through everything by <em>b</em> :

Since <em>a/b</em> < <em>c/d</em>, it follows that

Multiply through everything on the right side by <em>b/d</em> to get

and so (<em>a</em> + <em>c</em>)/(<em>b</em> + <em>d</em>) < <em>c/d</em>.
For the other side, you can do something similar and divide through everything by <em>d</em> :

and <em>a/b</em> < <em>c/d</em> tells us that

Then

and so (<em>a</em> + <em>c</em>)/(<em>b</em> + <em>d</em>) > <em>a/b</em>.
Then together we get the desired inequality.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll do line A for you and you can use the formulas to solve lines B and C yourself, since its good for you to practice doing these questions yourself
a)
The gradient, m, is calculated using m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) where x1,x2,y1 and y2 can be any ordered pairs on the line. I'm going to use (4,0) and (7,3) as the 2 points.
m = (3-0)/(7-4) = 3/3 = 1
b)
The y-intercept is where the line intersects with the x-axis. In this case (0,-4)
c)
The equation of a linear line is y=mx+b (or c depending on which country you are from)
y = 1x-4
y=x-4
Now try the other 2 lines yourself!
