MCQ
Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
Which is greater between $\frac{-4}{9}$ and $\frac{-5}{12}?$
  • A
    $\frac{-4}{9}$
  • $\frac{-5}{12}$
  • C
    Both are equal.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{-5}{12}$

The correct option is $(b).$
$\frac{-5}{12}$ is greater than $\frac{-4}{9}$
$LCM$ of $9$ and $12$ is $36$
$\frac{-5\times3}{12\times3}=\frac{-15}{36}$
$\frac{-4\times4}{12\times4}=\frac{-16}{36}$
$(-15)>(-16)$
$\frac{-5}{12}>\frac{-4}{9}$
