Rewrite - 711 as a decimal.

- 7/11 < - 0.63

Practice makes perfect

When comparing numbers, it is best to first ensure that they are as similar as possible. In this exercise, we are given a fraction and a decimal number. - 7/11, - 0. 63

To compare them, we will convert - 711 to decimal. To do this, we will use a calculator.

Finally, we can make our comparison. Notice that both values are negative. This means the number closer to zero is always greater. Since the thousandths place is larger for - 711, we know that the first value is less than the second value. - 0.63 6363 ... < - 0.63 0 ⇕ - 7/11 < - 0.63
