Question

which is greater -4/5 or -7/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

-7/8 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/5=-0.8

-7/8=-0.875

Answer 2

To find the greater fraction, we can use the butterfly method.

• Cross multiply the numerator by the denominator.

$(-\frac{4}{5} )(- \frac{7}{8} )$

$-\frac{4\times8}{5\times7}=\frac{32}{35}$

Therefore, $-\frac{4}{5}$ is greater than $-\frac{7}{8}$.
