Answer:
-5/6 is a greater number than -8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
A positive number is always greater than a negative number.
Example:
2 is greater than -2
2 is greater than -3
2 is greater than -4
0 is greater than -1 (It is better to have no money than to owe $1)
-5/6 = -0.83333
-8/9 = -0.88889
It is better to owe 0.83333 than to owe 0.88889
So, -5/6 > -8/9
