Step-by-step explanation:
A)-7/12 and -3/15
{ Make the denominators equal by finding LCM and multiplying }
LCM= 60
= -7x5/ 12x5 and -3x4/ 15x4
= -35/60 and -20/60
⇒ -20/60 > -35/60
B) 15/22 and 7/13
LCM = 286
= 15x13/ 22x13 and 7x22/ 13x22
= 195/286 and 154/286
⇒ 195/286 > 154/286
Note: There will not be a problem if you write it as 195/286 is greater than 154/286 instead of 15/22 and 7/13. They are the same
