Question

which is the greatest rational number out of 5/-11,5/-12,5/-17?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The greater the denominator, the smaller the rational number. But for negative rational number, the greater the denominator, the greater the rational number. Hence, -5/17 is the greatest rational number. Therefore, 5/-17 is the greatest out of 5/-11, -5/12 and 5/-17.
