Question

Which of the two rational is greatest in given pair
$\frac{7}{ - 9} or \frac{ - 5}{8}$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

the question of the answer is -7/9

Answer 2

$\frac{-7}{9}, \frac{-5}{8}$

$L.C.M. of 9 and 8 = 72$

$\frac{-7}{9}\times\frac{8}{8}, \frac{-5}{8}\times\frac{9}{9}$

$\frac{-56}{72}, \frac{-45}{72}$

$\frac{-56}{72}<\frac{-45}{72}$

$\frac{7}{-9}<\frac{-5}{8}$

$So, \frac{-5}{8} is greater than \frac{7}{-9}$
