To save time a suitable no to pick would be $$3$$ since for both quantities the numerator will be $$0$$
whenever 0 is divided by anything except 0 it would equal $$0$$ hence both quantities would be equal
however, for a number such as $$3.1$$
qty A would equal $$\frac{0.1}{-3.1}$$
while qty B would equal $$\frac{0.1}{3.1}$$
hence we cannot determine that one side is smaller or bigger all the time.
