Question
$\frac{-1}{2}$ is ____ then $\frac{1}{5.}$
✓
Answer
Given rational numbers are $\frac{-1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{5}.$
$LCM$ of their denominatoes, i.s. $2$ and $5 = 10$
$\therefore\frac{-1\times5}{2\times5}=\frac{-5}{10}$ and $\frac{1\times2}{5\times2}=\frac{2}{10}$
$\because2>-5$
So, $\frac{1}{5}>\frac{-1}{5}$
Hence, $\frac{-1}{2}$ is smaller than $\frac{1}{5.}$
