Solution
\[\frac{7}{-8}\] \[\boxed{<}\] \[\frac{8}{9}\]
Explanation:
Given rational numbers are `7/(-8)` and `8/9`
Since, `7/(-8) = (-7)/8` is a negative rational number and `8/9` is a positive rational number.
Also, every positive rational number is greater than negative rational number.
Hence, `7/(-8)` < `8/9`.
