The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
2m = n/2 - 3 where m and n are the two numbers.
The quotient is less than the fraction.
9
Any number below 6 has a quotient less than 1.
x/y - 4 = 2
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
2m = n/2 - 3 where m and n are the two numbers.
To say that 2 is less than twice a number and four means, algebraically, that 2 < 2x + 4. This simplifies to -2 < 2x or x > -1. This is not a quotient, however, so perhaps your question was not clearly worded.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
You could mean y/4 - 3, or you could possibly mean 4/y - 3. It is somewhat ambiguous which quotient you mean.

It will be greater.
12+(16/x)
2n/6 - 9 or n/3 - 9
Any number below 6 has a quotient less than 1.
