This is a classic problem for number-picking, we'll just need to make sure not to confuse our calculations.
This is an Alternative approach.
Say F = -1, the simplest number we can use.
Then:
A. (-2 - 5)/2 = -7/2 = -3.5
B. (-4-1)/4 = -5/4 = -1.25
C. (-6-2)6 = -8/6 = -4/3 = -1.33333
D. (-7-5)/7 = -12/5 = -2.4
E. -1 -1 = -2
The number with the largest value is
