Question

-7/16 and 9/-24 which is greater ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this question is 9/-24.

Answer 2

Answer:

-7/16 < 9/-24  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the rational numbers are -7/16 and 9/-24 ( which is equal to -9/24 and can be simplified and wriiten as -3/8)

Now, we have to find the LCM of the denominators, that is LCM of 16 and 8 which is 16

So, make the denominators common. -7/16 will remain the same and -3/8 will be:

-3/8 * 2/2 = -6/16

Now, the rational numbers are -7/16 and -6/16.

Since -7 is smaller than -6,

-7/16 < -6/16.

Therefore, -7/16 < -9/24

= -7/16 < 9/-24
