To do:  $\frac{-7}{8}$ Compared By $\frac{14}{-16}$ Rational Numbers

Solution:

Rational number$\frac{-7}{8}$ is in its lowest or simplest form.

Rational number $\frac{14}{-16}$ is NOT in its lowest or simplest form.

So simplifying $\frac{14}{-16}$ = $\frac{7\times2}{-8\times2}$ = $\frac{7}{-8}$ = $\frac{-7}{8}$

So $\frac{14}{-16}$is same as  $\frac{7}{-8}$

So  the comparison is that these two rational numbers are equal.

$\frac{-7}{8}$ =$\frac{14}{-16}$
