Alternate Solution



To find
We need to determine
    • The value of the given expression

Approach and Working out
Assuming b = 2, the value of the expression = -0.5

Assuming the same value of b, the value of the options:
    A. -0.5
    B. 0.5
    C. 0.75
    D. -0.75
    E. 1.33

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: Option A

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: Option A

This is incorrect unfortunately. If you plug in 2, you end up with (-0.75/1.25) = -0.6 which doesn't match up with any of the answer choices. The only way to do this is algebraically I think. Unless you can show how plugging in 2 gives that result.
