Complete Question:

Let x and y be positive integers and x be greater than y.

11x/11y = ?

Answer:

11x/11y = x/y

Explanation:

Given

x > y

Required

11x/11y

From the question, we understand that x is greater than y (i.e. x > y)

Also, we'll assume that y ≠ 0, in other not to result in an undefined result.

So,

11x/11y

Divide the numerator and denominator by 11

(11x ÷ 11)/(11y ÷ 11)

The result of the division is:

(x)/(y)

x/y

Hence,

11x/11y = x/y for x > y and y ≠ 0
