2/3 is the greatest number in -5/7  , 2/3  , -8/3  and -10/3​

Given:

• Numbers
• a) -5/7
• b)  2/3
• c) -8/3
• d) -10/3​

To Find:

• Greatest number in the given numbers

Solution:

Number Line:

Numbers with a negative sign are less than zero

Right of zero represented by ‘+’ sign and to the left of zero represented by ‘–’ sign.  

+ sign numbers can be denoted as simply numbers  

On a number line the number increases as we move to the right and decreases as we move to the left.  

-5/7  ,   -8/3  and -10/3​  are all negative numbers hence on the left Side of Zero

2/3 is positive number hence on the right side  of zero

On a number line the number increases as we move to the right

And 2/3 is most right in given number

Hence 2/3 is the greatest number

Correct option is b) 2/3
