Question

3. Which of the two rational numbers is greater in each of the following pairs?i) 4/-5 or -7/8ii) 9/-13 or 7/-12​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i) 4/-5 = -4/5

LCM of 5 and 8 = 40

-4/5 = -32/40

-7/8 = -35/40

-32/40 > -35/40

Hence, 4/-5 > -7/8

ii) 9/-13 = -9/13

7/-12 = -7/12

LCM of 12 and 13 = 156

-9/13 = -108/156

-7/12 = -91/156

-91/156 > -108/156

Hence, -7/12 > -9/13
