Question

compare the following -7/8 and -11/5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 7}{8} = \frac{ - 7 \times 5}{8 \times 5} = \frac{ - 35}{40}$

$\frac{ - 11}{5} = \frac{ - 11 \times 8}{5 \times 8} = \frac{ - 88}{40}$

$since \: \: \: \frac{ - 35}{40} > \frac{ - 88}{40}$

$so \: \: \: \frac{ - 7}{8} > \frac{ - 11}{5}$
