Hey there!

I usually simply the fraction to decimals to make it easier to solve


- (2)/(3) \ \textless \ - (3)/(4) \\ \\ \\ -(2)/(3) \ \textgreater \ - (3)/(4) \\ \\ \\ -(2)/(3) = -(3)/(4)


- (2)/(3) \ \textless \ - (3)/(4) \\ \\ \\ - (2)/(3) = -0.67 \\ \\ \\ -(3)/(4) = -0.75 \\ \\ \\ Answer: true


-(2)/(3) \ \textgreater \ - (3)/(4) \\ \\ \\ - (2)/(3) = -0.67 \\ \\ \\ -(3)/(4) = -0.75 \\ \\ \\ Answer: false


- (2)/(3) = - (3)/(4) \\ \\ \\ - (2)/(3) =-0.67 \\ \\ \\ -(3)/(4) = -0.75 \\ \\ \\ Answer: false

Therefore, option
A. -(2)/(3) \ \textless \ -(3)/(4) would most likely be your answer to this question, because
B &
C are incorrect

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
