for this question, the easiest way is to find the decimal for each fraction.
so you can say:
-5/8 = -0.6
-7/9 = -0.7
-4/5 = -0.8
-3/7 - -0.4
and because they are all negative numbers so from the least to the greatest will be:
-4/5 < -7/9 < -5/8 < -3/7
so the answer is B :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day
