Answer 1

@phi ?

Answer 2

exactly what is the question?

Answer 3

I'm thinking - 6/7 is greater than -1/7.

Answer 4

Were trying to figure out is - 6/7 and -1/7 are greater than less than or equal to each other.

Answer 5

you have to get clear what we mean by less than.

Less than means a number is "on the left side"
if you plot them on a number line.

example: 1 is less than 2 (1 < 2) (we put the "small pointy side of < next to the smaller number, and the "fat side" of < next to the bigger number)

Answer 6

Right. =) I'm following so far.

Answer 7

-1/7 is less than 0 (to the left of zero)
but not as far left as -1
