Answer:

-7/10

Explanation:

First, we obviously need to convert 0.66 into a fraction. Since -7/10 cannot be changed, we need to change AND simplify -0.66.

-0.66 is equal to -66/100, but we can still simplify this. We can divide the numerator and denominator by 2.

66 divided by 2 is 33.

100 divided by 2 is 50.

-33/50 CANNOT be simplified anymore.

So -7/10 _ -33/50. Which is greater?

-7/10 is closer to 0 on the number line. -33/50 isnt.

So -7/10 is the answer.

-7/10 > -0.66
