Answer 1

1. -11
`(5)/(8)` > -11
`(6)/(8)`

2. |-11
`(5)/(8)`| > |-11
`(6)/(8)`|

Explanation:

For 1: The greater the negative number, the less it's worth (if that makes sense). So, -11
`(5)/(8)` would be greater.

For 2: The absolute value (which is what the bars indicate) of -11
`(5)/(8)` is 11
`(5)/(8)`, and the absolute value of -11
`(6)/(8)` is 11
`(6)/(8)`. So |-11
`(5)/(8)`|.

Hope that helps! :)
