ANSWER - 5/6 IS SMALLER THAN 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 6 and 8 is 24
For the 1st fraction, since 6 × 4 = 24,
5/6=5/6 × 4 = 20/24
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8 × 3 = 24
7/8 =7/8 × 3=21/24
Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
20/24 < 21/24 OR 5/6 <7/8
