Question

which is bigger 5/-11 or -5/11

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{ - 11} = \frac{ - 5}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$which \: is \: bigger \: \frac{5}{ - 11} \: or \: \frac{ - 5}{11} \\ \\ solution \: - \: (- 11) \div 11 = -1 \\ \\ = \frac{5 \: \times ( - 1)}{ (- 11) \times ( - 1)} = \frac{ - 5}{11}$

Therefore, 5/-11 and -5/11 are equal.

Answer 2

In order to find which one is greater we need to convert the number into standard form by multiplying it with (-1)

$\frac{5 \times ( - 1)}{ - 11 \times ( - 1)} = \frac{ - 5}{11}$

Hence both of the given numbers are equal in value.
