a) Ta có: \(2 = \frac{2}{1} = \frac{{2.15}}{{1.15}} = \frac{{30}}{{15}} < \frac{{31}}{{15}}\).
Suy ra \(\frac{{31}}{{15}} > 2\).
b) Ta có: \( - 3 = \frac{{ - 3}}{1} = \frac{{ - 3.2}}{{1.2}} = \frac{{ - 6}}{2}\)
và \(\frac{7}{{ - 2}} = \frac{{ - 7}}{2}\)
Do \(\frac{{ - 6}}{2} > \frac{{ - 7}}{2}\) nên \( - 3 > \frac{7}{{ - 2}}\).
