OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Multiply the numerator and denominartor of the left fraction by 2. What do you get?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

I disagree with your answer. Can you tell me how you came to that conclusion?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Bigger negative number is less than a smaller negative number

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

nvm it's equals.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

okay that is good reasoning. however in this instance, if you multiply both sides of the fraction by 2 as such: \[-\frac{7}{8}*\frac{2}{2}\] it comes out to \[-\frac{14}{16}\]
