Question 515059: Indicate whether the conjecture is true or false. If false, provide a counterexample.
If a/b > 0, then a > o and b > 0.

I say this is true.

I am not sure, however if I am wrong can you show an example to help me understand. Thank you for your time regarding this question.

Indicate whether the conjecture is true or false. If false, provide a counterexample.
If a/b > 0, then a > o and b > 0.
I say this is true.
================
Comment: Both a and b could be negative:
Example: -4/-2 = +2 > 0
