Question

-4/5 bigger than -5/7

Answer 1

Resposta:

$\green{ - \frac{5}{7} }$

Explicação passo-a-passo:

Read the end note first

$- \frac{4}{5} \: or \: - \frac{5}{7}$

For this question, let's share...

It is known that a fraction is a division :

$- \frac{4}{5} \: = \: - 4 \div 5 \: = \: \green{ - 0.8}$

$- \frac{5}{7} \: = \: - 5 \div 7 \: ≈ \: \green{ - 0.7}$

this "wave" is approximately the result

BUT, we must be careful. As the sign is negative, so the higher the value, the less it is worth

So since 0.8 is greater than 0.7 and both are negative, so -0.7(-5/7) is greater

Final note:I'm from Brazil, and here we use the comma as a decimal, in the US it's a period for what I researched, if I'm wrong send me a message below ;)
