Solution

For this case we can select two fractions less than 1, lets say:


(a)/(b),(c)/(d)

Where a

Then if we divide both fractions we have:


((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a\cdot d)/(b\cdot c)

From this we can use the fact that this fraction is less than 1 but is also higher than the original fractions following the priciple that the smaller a number is, the more of them can “fit” (divided) into a number.
