I'll medal and fan!!! Which fractions are greater than -5/16 ? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. A. -3/8 B. -11/32 C. -1/4 D. -1/8

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Since these are negative fractions. The "smaller" numbered fractions are bigger.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

For example: A -3/8=-6/16, that is a "bigger" number than -5/16, thus it's smaller. So it's not A.
