The statement is correct.

3/4 divided by 1/2 can be written as 3/4 x 2/1, because even dividing fractions you can flip the second one and multiply instead.

This gives 6/4, which can be written as 3/2. This is top heavy, meaning it is greater than 1. It could also be said as 3 divided by 2, and half of 3 is 1.5, greater than 1.

For the second one, 1/2 divided by 3/4 can be written as 1/2 x 4/3, which is 4/6, also written as 2/3.

2/3 is less than 3/3, making it less than 1.

This means Pilar is correct for both cases as the former is indeed greater than 1 and the latter is less than.

Because of the rainy season, the depth in a pond increases 3% each week. Before the rainy season started, the pond was 10 feet d
Dafna11 [192]

It's not perfectly clear, but you seem to be saying that each week, the
pond becomes 3% deeper than it was THE PREVIOUS WEEK.

If I'm reading that correctly, then the pond is 10-ft deep when the rainy
season begins, and after 'x' weeks later, the depth is

                     D = 10 (1.03)^x            feet.

After 8 weeks, the depth is        D = 10 (1.03)⁸  =  12.67 feet .

                         rounded to the nearest foot,  D = 13 ft.
