Question

$\frac{- 5}{7}$ is __ than $- 3$

Open in App

Solution

We have- $\frac{- 5}{7}$ and $- 3$
Convert the given numbers into like fractions-
$\begin{array}{rcl} - 3 & = & \frac{- 3 \times 7}{7} (By multiplying both side with 7) \\ = & \frac{- 21}{7} \end{array}$
Since, $\frac{- 5}{7}$ $> \frac{- 21}{7}$
Hence- $\frac{- 5}{7}$ is more than $- 3$
