Question

which rational number is smallest -5/7, -13/24, 3/-4, 7/-2​

Answer 1

PLEASE MARK THE ANSWER AS BRAINLIEST

THE NUMBERS ARE:

-5/7,-13/24,3/-4=-3/4,7/-2=-7/2

LCM OF 7,24,4,2 IS 168

-5/7 x 24/24 = -120/168

-13/24 x 7/7 = -91/168

-3/4 x 42/42 = -126/168

-7/2 x 84/84 = -588/168

In negative rational number, smaller number in numerator will have greater value

Hence, -588/168<-126/168<-120/168<-91/168

so, -7/2<-3/4<-5/7<-13/24

Therefore, -7/2 is the smallest rational number
