Question

Which of the two rational numbers is greater?

$\frac{4}{3}or\frac{-8}{7}$

Answer 1

We have $\frac{4}{3}and\frac{-8}{7}$

Here, $\frac{4}{3}$is a positive rational number and $\frac{-8}{7}$is a negative rational number.

Since every positive rational number is greater than a negative rational number.

Therefore, $\frac{4}{3}>\frac{-8}{7}$

Hence, $\frac{4}{3}$is greater.
