Question
Select the correct statement from the following.

Answer

  1. $\frac{-2}{3}<\frac{-4}{5}$
    Solution:
    $\frac{-2}{3}<\frac{-4}{5}$
    Taking LCM of 3 and 5,
    LCM = 15,
    So, $\frac{-2\times5}{3\times5},\frac{-4\times3}{5\times3}$
    $\Rightarrow\frac{-10}{15},\frac{-12}{15}$
    Now, since both the denominator is equal so, we compare its numerator,
    and since, -10 < -12
    So, $\frac{-10}{15}>\frac{-12}{15}$
    thus, $\frac{-2}{3}>\frac{-4}{5}$
