Answer: A − 9/7

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to convert all the numbers into decimal form.

-3 1/3 = - (3x3+1)/3 =-10/3 = - 3.3334

-4/5 = -0.8

Since he number must greater than −3 1/3 but less than − 4/5.

−3 1/3 < x < − 4/5.

- 3.3334 < x < -0.8

The correct option is A = -9/7 , because in decimal form is equal to -1.28-

- 3.3334 < -1.28 < -0.8
