Answer:

-1/3 is the largest rational number

Explanation:


(-2)/(4)=(-1)/(2)=(-1*15)/(2*15)=(-15)/(30)\\\\\\\\frac{-2}{3}=(-2*10)/(3*10)=(-20)/(30)\\\\\\(-1)/(3)=(-1*10)/(3*10)=(-10)/(30)\\\\\\(-4)/(5)=(-4*6)/(5*6)=(-24)/(30)\\\\\\(-24)/(30)<(-20)/(30)<(-15)/(30)<(-10)/(30)\\\\\\(-4)/(5)<(-2)/(3)<(-2)/(4)<(-1)/(3)

-1/3 is the largest rational number
