Question

Compare.
-13/15 _ -5/6

Answer 1

Your answer should be -13/15 < -5/6

Explanation:

You would want to get the fractions to common denominators which in this case is 30.

So -13/15 = -26/30 (13*2 = 26, 15*2 = 30.)

And -5/6 = -25/30 (5*5 =25, 6*5 = 30.)

Since the fractions are also negative, the number closest to 0 would be the greater fraction. Which in this case would be -5/6. I hope this helps you! :)
