Question

Compare: -3/5and -0.55

Answer 1

-3/5<-0.55

Explanation:

First, convert them into fractions or decimals. I will do decimals.

-3/5, you multiply it both by 2.

You get -6/10.

Since -6/10 has a 10 in the denominator, we can say this is -0.6.

Now for negatives, pick the "smaller number because that is closer to 0 there making it bigger.

So -3/5<-0.55 because -0.55 is closer to 0.
