Which is greater in each of the following:
$- 3 \frac{2}{7}, - 3 \frac{4}{5}$

Open in App

Solution

$- 3 \frac{2}{7} = \frac{- 23}{7} = \frac{- 23 \times 5}{7 \times 5} = \frac{- 115}{35} a n d - 3 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{- 19}{5} = \frac{- 19 \times 7}{5 \times 7} = \frac{- 133}{35}$
Since $\frac{- 115}{35}$ > $\frac{- 133}{35}$
Therefore $- 3 \frac{2}{7}$ > $- 3 \frac{4}{5}$
