compair the following franction a)5/8 and 2/3​

Answer 1

Here's your answer!! Hope it helps you!

Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$ is greater than $\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCM of the two denominators i.e. 3 and 8 which is 24

Then find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 24

In the 1st fraction,

∵ 3 x 8 = 24 ,

Therefore, $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{2 X 8}{ 3 X 8}$ = $\frac{16}{24}$

Similarly for the 2nd fraction,

$\frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{5 X 3}{8 X 3}$ = $\frac{15}{24}$

Now as the denominators are the same, the fraction with the greater numerator will be the greater fraction

i.e. $\frac{16}{24}$ > $\frac{15}{24}$  or  $\frac{2}{3}$ > $\frac{5}{8}$
