Divide both sides of the equation in statement (1) by 3y. This results in the proportion ‌
x
y
=‌
6
3
and ‌
y
x
=‌
3
6
Therefore, the answer to the original question would be yes. Statement (2) tells you that x/y is greater than 1 ; therefore, it must be an improper fraction. y∕x would then be a proper fraction making it less than
