Question

Is - 3/5 greater, less than or equal to - 4/5

Answer 1

it is greater than. Because as i learned it anything on the negative side that is farther away from zero is a smaller number and any thing near zero or after it is a big number. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

- 3/5 > - 4/5

They are both negative, so ignore the sign and compare the values. But we need to find which one is closer to the zero.

4 is greater than 3, and we have a common denominator, so -3/5 is greater than -4/5, because -3/5 is closer to the zero.
