QuestionCompare the following pairs of numbers using inequality symbols:
7. $-3.1$ and $-\frac{16}{5}$
8. $-\frac{22}{25}$ and $-0.\overline{8}$

Studdy Solution
Now, we can compare the two numbers $-\frac{22}{25}$ and $-\frac{8}{9}$.
Since $-\frac{22}{25}$ is to the right of $-\frac{8}{9}$ on the number line, it is greater. Therefore, we have$$-\frac{22}{25} > -\frac{8}{9}$$So, the solutions to the exercises are7. $-3.1 > -\frac{16}{5}$
8. $-\frac{22}{25} > -0 . \overline{8}$
