You can solve this problem without using a calulator. -7/15 is greater than 50% That measn our answer MUST BE BELOW 50% because they are all negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is wrong because -5/9s is greater than 50%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is wrong because -6/11s is greater than 50%

OpenStudy (anonymous):
