Got a quick problem:
-5 <(or equal to) a (or equal to)<5
1<b<5
In the inequalities above, a and b are integers. What is the least integer value of a/b?
4
2
-1
-2
-4
You can type -5 <= a <= 5.
b is necessarily positive so a should be negative. To minimize a/b where b > 0, minimize a and set b as close to 0 as possible. But you must also adhere to the constraints (b != 1), and so the optimal solution is a = -4, b = 2 --> a/b = -2, or D.
