Solution Steps

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$-\frac{3}{5}=-\frac{3}{2}+\frac{10}{2}$$

Since -\frac{3}{2} and \frac{10}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{-3+10}{2}$$

Add -3 and 10 to get 7.

$$-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{7}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Convert -\frac{3}{5} and \frac{7}{2} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$-\frac{6}{10}=\frac{35}{10}$$

Compare -\frac{6}{10} and \frac{35}{10}.
