  • C. if the quantities are equal
  • D. if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct answer is (A). 60 seconds = 1 minute; 60 minutes = 1 hour; 24 hours = 1 day; so the number of seconds in 1 day = 60 * 60 * 24. There are 30 days in April; the number of minutes in April = 60 * 24 * 30. Without any computation, A has the greater factors.
