which of the following is correct?
-9/3>-3/9
-3/9>-9/3
-3/9<-9/3
9/3<3/9
-3/9>-9/3
-1/3 > -3
-1/3 > -3
To determine which of the following inequalities is correct, we need to compare the values of the fractions.
Let's simplify each fraction first:
-9/3 can be simplified to -3
-3/9 can be simplified to -1/3
-3/9 can also be simplified to -1/3
9/3 can be simplified to 3/1
3/9 can be simplified to 1/3
Now, let's compare the values of the fractions:
-3 is greater than -1/3, so -9/3 is greater than -3/9. Therefore, -9/3 > -3/9.
On the other hand, 3/1 is greater than 1/3, so 9/3 is greater than 3/9. Therefore, 9/3 > 3/9.
So, the correct inequality is:
-9/3 > -3/9.
