Question:
$-3 / 4$ is smaller than $-2$.
Solution:
False.
Express each of the given rational numbers with 4 as the common denominator. Now,
$-3 / 4=[(-3 \times 1) /(4 \times 1)]=(-3 / 4)$
$-2 / 1=[(-2 \times 4) /(1 \times 4)]=(-8 / 4)$
Then,
$-3 / 4>-8 / 4$
Hence,
$-3 / 4>-2$
So, $-3 / 4$ is greater than $-2$.
