Question

To compare rational numbers -3/-5 and -2/-7 reduce them to their standard forms and then compare them​

Answer 1

Answer: -3/-5 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

They are already in standard forms so we will start comparing them. The minus sign gets cancelled and becomes positive because N and D both have minus sign.

3/5 and 2/7= 21/35 and 10/35

21/35 is more i.e. 3/5 is more.

Ans. -3/-5 is greater.

Answer 2

Answer:

-3/-5=3/5

and multiply both the numerators and denominators by 7 we'll get

21/35.

now, -2/-7,=2/7

and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5,we'll get

10/35.

therefore, -3/-5 is greater than -2/-7...
