Pick examples. Say that q is 2 and p is 1/3.

q /p= 2/(1/3).

Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by the inverse. The inverse of of 1/3 is 3.

multiply 2 by 3, you get 6.

6>2.

q is an integer, p is a fraction

What will be bigger, an integer divided by 1 or that same integer divided by a number less than 1?

Try not to calculate on QCs. They are designed to go faster if you think abstractly about the concepts tested.
