First, we're given the following inequality: 2/n < 1/2 < 3/n. (Note that n would have be positive here, otherwise, 1/2 would not fall between the inequality's endpoints.)AAPL wrote:Which of the following is equivalent to the statement that 0.5 is between 2/n and 3/n?

Let's multiply through by n, which we know is positive, to get: 2 < n/2 < 3
Multiply through by 2 to get 4 < n < 6. The answer is D
