1.

Which is larger out of (2/-3) and (-4/5)?(a)(2/-3) (b)(-4/5) (c) Cannot be compared

Answer»

(a)(2/-3)

Because,

First we write (2/-3) in standard form

= (2×-1)/ (-3×-1)

= (-2/3)

Then,

LCM of 3 and 5 is 15

= (-2 × 5)/ (3×5) = (-10/15)

= (-4×3) / (5×3) = (-12/15)

Clearly,

= (-10) > (-12)

Hence,

(-2/3)> (-4/5)

∴ (2/-3) > (-4/5)
