Which of the two rational numbers is greater in the given pair?

(i) or 0 (ii)or 0 (iii)or


(iv)or (v)or (vi)or

(i) is a positive number and all positive numbers are greater than 0.


Therefore,


(ii) is a negative number and all negative numbers are less than 0.


Therefore,


(iii) Both and have the same denominator 4.


Therefore, we can directly compare both the numbers.


Since, 1 > -3


Therefore,


(iv) Both and have the same denominator 7.


Therefore, we can directly compare both the numbers.


Since, -4 > -5


Therefore,


(v) and have different denominators.


Therefore, we take LCM of 3 and 4 that is 12.


Now,



And,



Since, 9 > 8


Therefore,


Hence,


(vi) We can write


and have different denominators.


Therefore, we take LCM of 1 and 2 that is 2.


Now,



And,



Since, -1 > -2


Therefore,


Hence,
