Example Questions

Example Question #41 : Negative Numbers

Whch of the following is the least of the four expressions?

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{7}{12}$

$-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{17}{30}$

$-\frac{11}{20}$

Correct answer:

$-\frac{3}{5}$

Explanation:

Rewrite each of the numbers with a common denominator. To find that common denominator, examine the prime factorizations of 5, 12, 20, and 30:

5 = 5

$12 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3$

$20 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5$

$30 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5$

Multiply:

$2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 = 60$

Rewrite each fraction with deniominator 60:

$-\frac{11}{20} = -\frac{11 \cdot 3 }{20 \cdot 3 } = - \frac{33}{60}$

$-\frac{17}{30} = -\frac{17\cdot 2 }{30 \cdot 2} = - \frac{34}{60 }$

$-\frac{7}{12} = -\frac{7 \cdot 5 }{12 \cdot 5} = - \frac{35}{60 }$

$-\frac{3}{5} = -\frac{3 \cdot 12 }{5\cdot 12 } = - \frac{36}{60}$

Of these four negative numbers, $-\frac{3}{5} = - \frac{36}{60}$ has the greatest absolute value, so it is the least of the four, and the correct choice.
