Question

which one is the smallest: a -2/3 b -4/5 c -5/6 d -7/15​

Answer 1

Given: The numbers are

$a) -2/3 \\b) -4/5 \\c) -5/6 \\d) -7/15$

We have to find the smallest number from the above numbers.

We are solving in the following way:

As we know that we can write the above numbers as:

$a)\frac{-2}{3} =-0.67\\\\b)\frac{-4}{5}=-0.8\\\\c)\frac{-5}{6} =-0.833\\\\d)\frac{-7}{15} =-0.466$

From the above, we can see that $-0.466$is the smallest number.

Hence, $\frac{-7}{15}$is the smallest number.

Option d) is the correct answer.
