SOLUTION: If m and n are whole numbers, 49< n <101 and 19 < m <51, then what is the greatest value for (n+m)/n?

Question 282759: If m and n are whole numbers, 49< n <101 and 19 < m <51, then what is the greatest value for (n+m)/n?

49 < n < 101
19 < m < 51

m and n are both whole numbers.

equation is (n+m)/n

greatest value for this equation will be when the numerator is maximum and the denominator is minimum.

minimum value for n is 50.
maximum value for n is 100
maximum value for m is 50

maximum value of (m+n)/n would be 150/50 = 3
