in rational no. what is greater -8/5 or -7/4

First we have to find the L.C.M of denominators of both fractions -85 and -74
And L.C.M of 5 and 4 = 20
Now making the denominator of both fractions common as;
-85 = -85×44 = -3220 and -74= -74×55 = -3520
Now since the denominator is same, so the fraction having greater numerator is greater.
And -32>-35
Therefore -3220>-3520 i.e. -85>-74
