Which fractions are greater than -4/7 ? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. A. -1/2 B. -5/8 C. -2/3 D. -6/11

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so this is a tricky question because the problem is negative so you are looking for the fraction that would be the least if positive

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so -4/7 is more than half so A would be one of the answers

OpenStudy (gabby2117):

There is one more also

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

yes so if you divide them 4/7 is 0.5714

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the easy way to get them is make -4/7 and the given choice fraction, with a same denominator,

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so we need to find one less than that

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

lets try 6/11 which gives you 0.5454

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

therefore A & D are your final answers
