Question
Given that `p/q` and `r/s` are two rational numbers with different denominators and both of them are in standard form. To compare these rational numbers we say that:
`square/square < square/square`, if p × s < r × q
Advertisements
Solution
Given, p × s < r × q
⇒ \[\frac{\boxed{p}}{\boxed{q}} < \frac{\boxed{r}}{\boxed{s}}\] ...[By transferring sides]
