Answer:

OPTION B.

OPTION C.

Explanation:

In order to know which numbers are less than
(9)/(4), you can convert this fraction into a decimal number. To do this, you need to divide the numerator 9 by the denominator 4. Then:


(9)/(4)=2.25

Now you need convert the fractions provided in the Options A and B into decimal numbers by applying the same procedure. This are:

Option A→
(11)/(4)=2.75 (It is not less than 2.25)

Option B→
(15)/(8)=1.875 (It is less than 2.25)

The number shown in Option C is already expressed in decimal form:

Option C→
2.201 (It is less than 2.25)
