Question

compare the rational numbers -7/3 and -5/2​

Answer 1

Answer: -7/3 > -5/2

To compare 2 rational numbers, we need to make their denominators the same by using the LCM method

LCM of 3 and 2 are 6, so

(-7/3) x 2 = -14/6

(-5/2) x 3 = -15/6

Now let's check only the numerators, -14 and -15. it's is in negative -14 is bigger which means the fraction -14/6 or -7/3 is bigger

-7/3 > -5/2
