Answer:

-19 5/6 > -20 1/6

Explanation:

Negative numbers with larger magnitude are farther to the left on the number line. That is, they are less than negative numbers with a smaller magnitude. (The magnitude is the value without the sign.)

These numbers have different integer parts, so the fraction part can be ignored for this purpose. -19 is to the right of -20 on the number line, so is greater.

-19 5/6 > -20 1/6
