Question
Fill in the boxes with the correct symbol >, < or =. $\frac{7}{-8}\Box\frac{8}{9}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{7}{-8}<\frac{8}{9}$ Solution:Given rational numbers are $\frac{7}{-8}$ and $\frac{8}{9}.$
Since, $\frac{7}{-8}=\frac{-7}{8}$ is a negative rational number and $\frac{8}{9}$ is a postive number. Also, every postive rational number is greater than negative rational number.
Hence, $\frac{7}{-8}<\frac{8}{9}.$
