Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct symbol out of $>, <$ and $=$
$- 2... \frac{13}{5}$

Open in App

Solution

$- 2$ can be written as $\frac{- 2}{1}$
The $L C M$ of the denominators $1$ and $5$ is $5$
$∴ \frac{- 2}{1} = \frac{(- 2 \times 5)}{(1 \times 5)} = \frac{- 10}{5}$
Now, $- 10 < 13$
$\Rightarrow \frac{- 10}{5} < \frac{13}{5}$
Hence, $- 2 < \frac{13}{5}$
