Which fraction is greater than −23 and less than −1/2? −3/4 −7/12 −5/12 −3/8

-7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

In order from least to greatest, the numbers and fractions are ...

... -23, -3/4, -2/3, -7/12, -1/2, -5/12, -3/8

There are two fractions greater than -23 and less than -1/2:

... -3/4, -7/12

There is one fraction greater than -2/3 and less than -1/2:

... -7/12

There are several different ways you can compare these numbers. One is to express them all using a denominator of 24.

... -3/4 = -18/24

... -2/3 = -16/24 . . . . apparently your lower limit of concern

... -7/12 = -14/24

... -1/2 = -12/24 . . . . your upper limit of concern

... -5/12 and -3/8 are obviously greater than -1/2, since the numerator magnitude is less than half the denominator.
