On a number line, point P is at -1/2 and point Q is at -2/3. Which point lies to the RIGHT of the other?

P (-1/2). LCM of 2 and 3 = 6. -1/2 = -3/6, -2/3 = -4/6. Since -3/6 > -4/6, P lies to the right of Q.

On a number line, point P is at $- \frac{1}{2}$ and point Q is at $- \frac{2}{3}$ .
Which point lies to the RIGHT of the other?

Class 7Comparing Rational NumbersRational Numbers

LCM of 2 and 3 = 6.

- \frac{1}{2} = - \frac{3}{6}, - \frac{2}{3} = - \frac{4}{6}

. Since

- \frac{3}{6} > - \frac{4}{6}

, P lies to the right of Q.

Answer: A)

P (- \frac{1}{2})
