Answer 2

Answer:

a)  $\bold {\frac{16}{24} \ or\ \frac{-15}{24}}$

Note: To find the greater fraction, if the denominators are same, compare the numerators. The fraction with the greater numerator will ultimately be the greater fraction.

 

In the given fractions, both have the same denominator. Therefore numerators must be compared.

16 is greater than -15 by 31.

=> The greater fraction is

16/24

b) $\bold{\left {0}\ or \frac{-2}{\ \ 5}}$

Note: When the fractions don't have the same denominator, make the denominators the same by the LCM method and then follow the same instructions given for fractions with same denominators.

$\frac{0}{1} \bold {\ and} \ \frac{-2}{\ \ 5} \bold {\ becomes} \\ \\ \frac{0}{5} \bold {\ and} \ \frac{-2}{\ \ 5}$

0 is greater than -2 by 2.

=> The greater fraction is

0/5 or 0
