Which is smaller out of (5/-6) and (-7/12)?(a)(5/-6) (b)(-7/12) (c) Cannot be compared |
Answer» (a)(5/-6) Because, First we write (5/-6) in standard form = (5×-1)/ (-6×-1) = (-5/6) Then, LCM of 6 and 12 is 12 = (-5 × 2)/ (6×2) = (-10/12) = (-7×1) / (12×1) = (-7/12) Clearly, = (-10) < (-7) Hence, (-5/6)< (-7/12) ∴ (5/-6) < (-7/12) |
