Fill in the blanks with the correct symbol out of >, < and =: (-3/7)….. (6/-13)

Answer»

(-3/7) > (6/-13)

Because,

First we write each of the given numbers with a positive denominator.

= (6/-13)

= [(6× (-1))/ (-13×-1)]

= (-6/13)

The LCM of the denominators 7 and 13 is 91

∴ (-3/7) = [(-3×13)/ (7×13)] = (-39/91)

and (-6/13) = [(-6×7)/ (13×7)] = (-42/91)

Now, -39 > -42

⇒ (-39/91) > (-42/91)

⇒ (-3/7) > (-6/13)

Hence, (-3/7) > (6/-13)
