1) As the denominator is same 2 2
Hence >

2.)As the denominator is not same,we will 8 8

make the denominator same as denominalor is same

common denominator = L.C.M of 6 and 9 7>5
=18 Hence

9×2 18

Hence 5/6>5/9 as denominator is same

3.) – 3 > –4
As the denominator is not same,we will make −3 −4
Hence >
the denominator same 5 5

this is True
Common denominator = L.C.M of 7 and 39
= 273 Video Solution:
6×39 234
=
7×39 273

6×7 42
=
39×7 273

As 234> 42
Hence 6/7>6/39

Q9 Text Solution:
Q6 Text Solution: (i)H.C.F. of 24 and 64 = 8
(i) True, as the numbers left of O are negative. Dividing the numerator and denominator by 8,
(ii) False, as the numbers right of O are positive then
and −12/7 is negative. 24/−64=24÷8/−64÷8=3/−8
(iii) True, as 1/3 is positive and −5/2 is negative.

 K-8

H.C.F. of 36 and 63 = 9 LCM of 1, 6 and 3 = 6

Dividing the numerator and denominator by − 2 /1 = − 2 × 6 /1 × 6 = − 12 /6
-9, then -13/ 6 = − 13 × 1/ 6 × 1 = − 13 /6
−36/−63=−36÷(−9)/−63÷(−9)=4/7 − 8/ 3 = − 8 × 2/ 3 × 2 = − 16 /6

Video Solution: 1 /3 = 1 × 2 /3 × 2 = 2 /6
Clearly, 2 > -12 > -13 > -16 Therefore, 2/ 6 > −
12/ 6 > − 13 /6 > − 1/6 6
Hence, 1 /3 > − 2/ 1 > − 13 /6 > − 8 /3

Video Solution:

Q10 Text Solution:

− 2 = − 2/ 1 And,
8 /− 3 = 8 × − 1/ − 3 × − 1 Since, the
denominators of all the numbers are different
therefore we will take LCM of the
denominators.
