Question

Which of the rational numbers is smaller ...
$1) \frac{ - 11}{1111} or \frac{1}{ - 103}$

​

Answer 1

Answer:

-11/1111 is smaller than 1/-103

Step-by-step explanation:

-11/1111, 1/-103

= -11/1111 = -11/1111, 1/-103 = 1/-103×(-1)/-1 = -1/103

= By cross multiplication of -11/1111 and-1/103

= -11×103 , -1×1111

= -1133, -1111

= -1133 < -1111

= -11/1111 < -1/103

so, -1/ 103 is larger than -11/1111
