Help super urgent math question! Will give MEDALS!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure. What's your question?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide the fraction (Example: 4 _ 10 is 4 divided by 10

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

So b and C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then see the larger decimal. (Note: Negative numbers are not like positives; -1 is greater than -2)

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

I still can't figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first do 4 divided by 9

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

0.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so negate 0.4 and that will make?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

What does negate mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negate means to make the number negative: so you will negate 0.4 into -0.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is -0.4 bigger than -7/15 or -0.46?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

-0.46

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is -0.4 bigger than -0.46?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so mark -4/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now for - 6/ 11 (do the same thing that you did with the first) Remember that -7/15 is -0.46

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

Wait that just threw me off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do 6 divided by 11, then negate it

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

-0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. is it bigger than -0.46?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

No

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

Wait yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good, don't mark it

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

So what do I mark?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The ones that are bigger than -0.46

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn't you say that the first answer was bigger?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

Yes but you said don't mark it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said to mark the first one, not the second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

must have been a misunderstanding

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

Oh okay

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

So what's the right answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We all ready know that the first one is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And that the second one is incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now for the third one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5/11 is what in decimal form?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

I have to move on to the next subject in like two minutes so can you give me the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't sorry. It's against the rules. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I'll help you on the next subject if you'd like?

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

I don't need help on the next subject but if I don't complete this today i'll fail and I only have two minutes left

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

@Ezpeasy please I've spent an hour on this and so far I'm just getting more confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (liciagrl911):

Thank you
