Question

5 by 8 and 7 by 10 compare the fraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/8 is smaller than 7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 8 and 10 is 40

Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 40

For the 1st fraction, since 8 × 5 = 40,

5/8. = 5*5/8*5=25/40

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 10 × 4 = 40,

7 × 4=28= 28/40

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

25/40 < 28/40 or 5/8 < 7/10
