b , because -2/9 is farther away from zero than -0.23

Answer 2

`(-2)/(9)` > -0.23

Explanation:

We are given the below mentioned question in the picture:

We have to compare the value of
`\displaystyle(-2)/(9)~ \& -0.23`.

We have to fill in appropriate sign.

In order to do so first, we evaluate the value of given fraction
`(-2)/(9)`.

It's value is -0.22222222.

If we compare both the value, then, -0.22222222 is always greater than -0.23.

Thus, the appropriate sign to fill the given blank is > as,

-0.22222222 > -0.23
