Hey there Maria!

Think of it this way:

18 divided by 18 is 1, right? and 17 divided by 16 is going to be larger than one, because 16 goes into 17 one time with one as a remainder.

So, Greg would not be correct because while 18 is larger than 17, the fraction
(17)/(16) is an improper fraction, making it larger than
(18)/(18), which would equal 1!
