Question

compare the given pairs of rational number write the greatest number in each pair -7/9 and -2/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

-2/5 > -7/9

Explanation:

LCM of 9 and 5 = 45

-7/9 = (-7×5) / (9×5) = -35/45

-2/5 = (-2×9) / (5×9) = -18/45

When the denominators are same, we compare the numerators.

-18 > -35

Hence, -2/5 > -7/9.
