Answer:


-3/4~ > -5/6

Explanation:

Using the given inputs


3/4~and~5/6

The least common denominator (LCD) is 12.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:


-(3)/(4) ~becomes-(9)/(12)

And


-(5)/(6)~becomes-(10)/(12)

Comparing the numerators of the equivalent fractions we have


-9/12 > -10/12

Therefore, the comparison shows:


-3/4~ > -5/6

Hope this Helps! :3

have a great day! :3
