Answer:
a ">"
Step-by-step explanation:
3 to the power negative one (-1) is the same as 1/3 (one unit divided by 3).
1/4 on the other hand is one unit divided by 4.
Dividing one object into three parts (think for example a chocolate bar) gives you a larger (greater) piece than dividing it into four equal pieces.
Therefore 1/3 > 1/4
