• D. if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

if the quantity in Column A is greater

Answer 2

Explanation:
Calculation for Column A (Number of Posts Needed):
To find the number of posts needed for a 144-foot fence with posts placed 12 feet apart:
$\text{Number of gaps} = \frac{144}{12} = 12$
Since we need one additional post at each end, the total number of posts required is:
$\text{Total Posts} = 12 + 1 = 13$
Comparison with Column B:
Column B has 12 Posts.
Conclusion:
The number of posts needed (Column A) is greater than the number of posts in Column B.
So, the correct answer is option A.
