Answer:

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! :)
