Given thatandare two rational numbers with different denominators and both of them are in standard form. To compare these rational numbers we say that:

(a) if p × s < r × q

(b) if _______ = ______

(c) if p × s > r × q

In each of the following cases, write the rational number whose numerator and denominator are respectively as under:

(a) 5 – 39 and 54 – 6

(b) (–4) × 6 and 8 ÷ 2

(c) 35 ÷ (–7) and 35 –18
