Same the denominator

Take LCM of 8&10

LCM of 8 and 10 = 40


- (5)/(8) = (5)/(8) * (4)/(4)=
\sf {( - 25)/(40)}

And


\sf{ ( - 6)/(10) = ( - 6)/(10) * (4 )/(4) }
\sf{= (24)/(40)}

So,


\sf{ ( - 5)/(8) < ( - 6)/(10) }

Answer:

Explanation:

LCM of 8 and 10 = 40


(-5)/(8)=(-5*5)/(8*5)=(-25)/(40)\\\\\\(-6)/(10)=(-6*4)/(10*4)=(-24)/(40)\\\\\\(-25)/(40) \ < (-24)/(40)\\\\(-5)/(8) \ < (-6)/(10)
