R0068-34893 · q-20260923-real-rational-order-0018

Original question and givens

The rational points are a=5/4 and b=-2/3. Use cross multiplication to determine whether a<b, a=b, or a>b.

  • G001 — The rational points are a=5/4 and b=-2/3. Use cross multiplication to determine whether a<b, a=b, or a>b.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-real-rational-order, [left, operation, right]]

After

derived = [cross_multiplication_order, no-invented-domain]

Conditions: none

Separate source banks:legacy RAW SAFE with unbounded derived BigInts versus BASE Number.isInteger without invented SAFE/million caps.Operations,domains and permissive/exact keys follow THIS bank.Keep ORIGINAL JSON intact.

S002 · calculation

Before

Real ORIGINAL left point ORIGINAL exact numerator over nonzero denominator := div(5, 4)

After

Real ORIGINAL left point ORIGINAL exact numerator over nonzero denominator = 5/4

Conditions: none

Calculate exactly from ORIGINAL ordered operands;mul/sub/div have EXPLICITLY TWO operands.Legacy derived BigInts are not recapped at RAW SAFE;check BASE Number type/representation conditions separately.Do not use floating approximations to force an answer.
