Answer
A
A is less than negative 21 and 1 third

A is less than 21 and 1 third
C
A is greater than negative 21 and 1 third
D
A is greater than 21 and 1 third

Explanation

Divide both sides of (3/4)A > -16 by 3/4. Because 3/4 is positive, the inequality sign stays the same: A > -16 × 4/3 = -64/3 = -21 1/3. Therefore, the solution is A is greater than negative 21 and 1/3, choice C.
