-5/6 greater than or less than -0.1

Question

-5/6 ___ -0.1

Answer 1

Alice, there are different ways to lookat this. You should know that 0.1 = 1/10 is way less of a whole than 5/6, right? Since we are dealing with negatives, -5/6 is further from 0 than 1/10, so <.

 

Or, -5/6 = -0.8, which is less than -0.1.
