$-5\frac{2}{8}-5\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given mixed fractions are:

$-5\frac{2}{8}\ and\ -5\frac{7}{8}$

Both the mixed fractions have the whole part same as -5. Now, in order to compare the two, we have to compare their fractional parts $\frac{2}{8}$ and $\frac{7}{8}$ .

As the denominators of both the fractions are same and equal to 8.

For same denominators of two positive fractions, the numerator with a greater value has a larger fraction.

For same denominators of two negative fractions, the numerator with a smaller value has a larger fraction.

Here, both the fractions are negative, so the numerator that is smaller has the larger fraction.

Here, 2 is less than 7. So, the fraction $-5\frac{2}{8}$ is greater than that of $-5\frac{7}{8}$ .

Therefore, $-5\frac{2}{8}-5\frac{7}{8}$
