Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Quantity A (ad) is a negative fractional number greater than a and approaching zero (0). Similarly, Quantity B (bc) is a negative fractional number greater than b and approaching zero (0). But ad must be less than cd (that is, further to the left than cd on the number line). Why? If a and b were both multiplied by c (a positive number), the inequality between a and b (a <b) would remain unchanged: ac < bc. It makes sense that if a is ultiplied instead by a positive number D. that is greater than c, then the inequality between a and b not only remains the same but actually increases. In any event, ad < bc
