Answer:

≥0

Explanation:

This one may seem tricky. The denominator is ALWAYS one more than the numerator. So, let's take a look at some examples.

-2/-1

This is >0. And even if you keep going to a number as high as -10000/-9999, it will ALWAYS be >0.

0/1

Hmm...this one is equal to 0. Seems like we have ≥0 right now.

2/3

>0, right? Well, since we have expression ≥0, that's your answer!

Hope it helps!
