[(a/b)+1] / (c/b)
in the expression above, a, b and c are different numbers and each is one of the numbers 2, 3 or 5.
what is the greatest possible value of the expression?

a) 8/3 b) 4 c) 9/2 d) 5 e) 6

B) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what values of a,b and c should be 2,3 and 5 such that the expression results in the greatest value possible.

We need to first simplify the expression, so that we can easily understand it.

firstly, just break apart the fractions so we have two separate fractions instead one long fraction.

division and multiplication are reciprocal to each other!

finally the b's cancel out, making our problem even simpler.

Now, in order to have this expression give the largest possible value, we'll need to have:

so B) 4 is the right answer!
