Let's reverse the question -

Is a over b less than a squared over b squared?

Answer - Only when a is less than b

example 1: a is less than b

a = 2 a squared = 4

b = 3 b squared = 9

2 / 3 = .6666 4 / 9 = .444444

2 / 3 is greater than 4 / 9

example 2: a is equal to b

a = 2 a squared = 4

b = 2 b squared = 4

2 / 4 = .5 2 / 4 = .5

2 / 4 is equal to 2 / 4

example 3: a is greater than b

a = 3 a squared = 9

b = 2 b squared = 4

3 / 2 = 1.5 9 / 4 = 2.25

3 / 2 is less than 9 / 4
