Hi Mate !!


Q. Which of the two rational numbers is greater in the given pairs?
(¡)-1/3 or 4/-5.


Solution :-

• Taking LCM of 3 and 5 i.e, 15


$\frac{ - 1}{3} \: \: and \: \: \frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{ - 1}{3} \times 15 =( - 5)$


$\frac{4}{ - 5} \times 15 = ( - 12)$


$since \: \: ( - 5) > ( - 12)$


$hence \: \: \frac{ - 1}{3} > \frac{4}{ - 5}$
