Question

Which is bigger?

1. 14/8 or 1 3/4?
2. -5.65 or -5.6?
3. -6 7/8 or -6.8?
4. -3 11/12 or -3 14/15?

Answer 1

I have high hopes it’s 1. 14/8 or 1 3/4

Answer 2

1. Equal

14/8 = 1.75

1 3/4 = 7/4

7/4 = 1.75

2. -5.6

While if they were positive, 5.65 is bigger, but since they’re negative, it’s opposite.

3. -6.8

-6 7/8 = -55/8

-55/8 = -6.875

-6.875 < -6.8

4. -3 11/12

-3 11/12 = -47/12

-47/12 = -3.912

-3 14/15 = -59/15

-59/15 = -3.9333...
