Question

Which is larger -17/24 or -11/12




​

Answer 1

-17/24

Explanation:

Because they are negative numbers, the smaller fraction (when disregarding the negative sign) is always a larger number. -11/12 could be changed to -22/24, and therefore since it is a larger number when disregarding the negative (22/24), it is a smaller number altogether.

-17/24 > -22/24

Answer 2

Answer: -11/12
Explanation: -11/12 is larger
