To determine the correct symbol to insert between -1/3 and -2/5, you need to compare the two fractions.

A straightforward way to compare fractions is to find a common denominator and compare the numerators.

In this case, you can find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators of the fractions, which gives you 3 * 5 = 15.

Next, you need to adjust the numerators accordingly. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction, -1, by 5, and multiply the numerator of the second fraction, -2, by 3. This gives you (-1 * 5)/15 and (-2 * 3)/15, which simplifies to -5/15 and -6/15.

Now that the fractions have a common denominator, you can compare the numerators.

-5/15 is equal to -1/3, and -6/15 is equal to -2/5. Therefore, the correct symbol to insert between -1/3 and -2/5 is =.

The sentence becomes: -1/3 = -2/5.
