Question

Complete the statement using > or <.

-3/4 ___ -5/8

and how would I use this on a number line

Answer 1

If your teacher or whoever asks you how you did it:

"First, I made common denominators by turning -3/4 into -6/8. Then I plugged in into the problem. -6/8 is less than -5/8.

Answer 2

-3/4 = -6/8

-6/8 < -5/8
