Which of the two rational numbers is greater in each of the following pairs?(i) (7/9) or (-5/9)(ii) (-6/11) or (5/11)(iii) (-15/4) or (-17/4) |

Answer» (i) (7/9) or (-5/9) Since both denominators are same therefore compare the numerators. We have, = 7 > -5 ∴ (7/9) > (-5/9) (ii) (-6/11) or (5/11) Since both denominators are same therefore compare the numerators. We have, = -6 < 5 ∴ (-6/11) < (5/11) (iii) (-15/4) or (-17/4) Since both denominators are same therefore compare the numerators. We have, = -15 > -17 ∴ (-15/4) > (-17/4) |
