Question

Find which rational number is greater. -18/42 and -5/7

Answer 1

Answer:

-18/42

Step-by-step explanation:

-18/42 = -1/3 and -5/7

-1/3 is greater than -5/7

so -18/42 is greater

Answer 2

$- \frac{18}{42} = - \frac{ 3}{7} = - 0.428571...$

$\frac{ - 5}{7} = - 0.714285...$

As, 3 < 5

So, –3 > –5

Hence,

$\frac{ - 18}{42} > \frac{ - 5}{7}$
