Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\bold{< \ -\frac{2}{8}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Find LCD of the two fractions
LCD = 24
Rewrite fractions
[tex]\bold{-\frac{16}{24} }[/tex] ____ [tex]\bold{-\frac{6}{24} }[/tex]
Just because 6 is smaller than 16, doesn't mean 6 isn't larger. If you have more of something, the portions will be smaller. If you have less of something, the portions will be bigger.
[tex]\bold{-\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] < [tex]\bold{-\frac{2}{8} }[/tex]
