What is the solution to Three-fourths a greater-than negative 16?
A. a greater-than negative 21 and one-third
B. a less-than negative 21 and one-third
C. a greater-than 21 and one-third
D. a less-than 21 and one-third
I believe it's D, assuming "a" is a variable. This is because you multiply -16 by 4 to make 3/4a into 3a. The problem is now 3a<-64. Then you divide -64 by 3, which gets you -21.3 or -21 1/3. Now it is a<-21 1/3
