\(1/3.5+1/x=1/1.5\)
\(2/7+1/x=2/3\)
multiply both sides by \(21x\), \(6x+21=14x\), \(x=21/8\)
Quantity A: \(3\)
Quantity B: \(21/8\)
Quantity A > Quantity B
Answer is A
\(2/7+1/x=2/3\)
multiply both sides by \(21x\), \(6x+21=14x\), \(x=21/8\)
Quantity A: \(3\)
Quantity B: \(21/8\)
Quantity A > Quantity B
Answer is A
