Step-by-step explanation:

-5/3 is a negative integer smaller than 0

2/3 is a positive integer biggr than 0

Therefore , 2/3<-5/7 is FALSE

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence , the answer is false .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$\sf{\dfrac{-5}{7}>\dfrac{2}{3}}$

To find :

True or false

Solution :

We have to make both them in like fraction .

(Like fraction is the fractions who's denominator are equal and the numerator is not equal) .

So , first find the L.C.M. of 7 and 3 . And its L.C.M. is 21 .

Now , divide the denominator with the L.C.M. and multiply it with numerator .

$\sf{\dfrac{-5}{7}\times\dfrac{3}{3}=\dfrac{-15}{21}}$

$\sf{\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{7}{7}=\dfrac{14}{21}}$

So , the greater like fraction is $\sf{\dfrac{14}{21}}$ .

So , the answer is false .
