Compare 47⁄299 to 17⁄31. Because 47 out of 299 is less than half, and 17 out of 31 is more than half, Column B is larger. Next, compare the remaining two quantities. Because 18 out of 101 is less than half, and 7 out of 13 is more than half, Column B is larger here as well. Thus, both parts of Column B are greater than both parts of Column A. Correct Answer: B.
