Question

Fill in the box with the correct symbol $>$, $<$ or $=$.

$\frac{-9}{7}\square \frac{4}{-7}$

Answer 1

Given rational numbers are $\frac{-9}{7}$ and $\frac{4}{-7}$.

Since the denominator is equal in $\frac{-9}{7}$ and $\frac{-4}{7}$. Therefore compare the numerator,

$-9<-4$

$\frac{-9}{7}<\frac{-4}{7}$

Therefore, $\frac{-9}{7}<\frac{4}{-7}$
