Answer 11

Here is the confusing part. In front of all of the fractions, you have a dash (this thing, -)

Youʻre making all of them negative, meaning none of them are greater than 4/7, which is positive. Is this a mistake, or intentional?

Answer 12

That dash represents a negative sign

Answer 20

because the denominater is bigger

Answer 21

What you have to do is to convert the fractions, to compare them to see which one is bigger.

-4/7 vs -1/2

Convert

-8/14 vs -7/14

Which one is bigger?

Answer 22

Also, the way I converted is, I brought both fractions to a common denominator, but they still represent the same value

Answer 23

For example, I brought -1/2 to -7/14 by multiply the numerator and denominator of -1/2 by 7, bringing it up to -7/14. But 7 is half of 14, and so it still represents -1/2. It just makes it easier to compare the fractions

Answer 32

The bigger the negative number, the smaller in value it is. For example, I will use a whole number.

-1 is bigger than -2 as -2 is more farther down the negative side of the number line

Answer 33

The farther down the right side of the number line you go, the smaller the number is in value.
