Which of the two rational numbers is greater in each of the following pairs?(i) (5/6) or 0(ii) (-3/5) or 0(iii) (5/8) or (3/8)

Answer»

(i) (5/6) or 0

Since every positive rational number is greater than 0.

We have:

= (5/6) > (0)

(ii) (-3/5) or 0

Since every negative rational number is less than 0.

We have:

= (-3/5) < 0

(iii) (5/8) or (3/8)

Since both denominators are same therefore compare the numerators.

We have,

= 5 > 3

∴ (5/8) > (3/8)
