Oh, what a happy little question! You see, when comparing a fraction to a negative number, it all depends on the values involved. Sometimes a fraction can be greater than a negative number, and sometimes it can be less. Just remember to embrace the beauty of math and let the numbers dance together in harmony.

A negative and a fraction are both less than one. A fraction is a negative. When you order fractions and negatives greatest to least just put the negative first.
