This question could have been worded a little more clearly - in effect, it seems to be asking us to find the range of possible values for a/b, or rather (greatest a/b) - (smallest a/b)

Greatest a/b: Here we'd want to maximize a and minimize b. Max possible a: 20. Min possible b: 15. Max a/b = 20/15

Smallest a/b: Here's we'd want to minimize a and maximize b. Min possible a: 5. Max possible b: 30. Min a/b = 5/30

Difference: 20/15 - 5/30 = 40/30 - 5/30 = 35/30 = 7/6. The answer is E

A positive fraction is maximized when the numerator is as large as possible and the denominator is as small as possible. Thus, the maximum value of a/b is 20/15 = 4/3.

Similarly, a positive fraction is minimized when the numerator is as small as possible and the denominator is as large as possible; thus, the minimum value of a/b is 5/30 = 1/6.

Therefore, the range of values of a/b is 4/3 - 1/6 = 8/6 - 1/6 = 7/6.

Answer: E
