Question

2. Which is greater?
5which is the greater minus 4 by 5 or 5 by - 6 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/5 or -5/6 (5/-6 can also be written as -5/6)

multiply both fractions with any number that's divisible by both the denominators so it'll be easier to find the values for both fractions

for this case we'll multiply them with 30 (30 is divisible by both 5 and -6)

-4/5 x  30 = -24

-5/6 x 30 = -25

-24 is greater than -25, so -4/5 is greater than 5/-6

or

find the value for both fractions by using a calculator or manualling calculating

-4/5 = -0.8

5/-6= -0.833 (rounded off value)

since they are negative numbers, -0.8 is greater than -0.833, therefore -4/5 is greater than 5/-6
