The bigger between

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{5}{8} \: \: \: and \: \: \frac{3}{5} }$

EVALUATION

Here the given two fractions are

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{5}{8} \: \: \: and \: \: \frac{3}{5} }$

Now the denominators are 8 and 5 respectively

LCM of 8 and 5 = 40

Now

$\frac{5}{8} = \frac{(5 \times 5)}{(8 \times 5)} = \frac{25}{40}$

$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{(3 \times 8)}{(5 \times 8)} = \frac{24}{40}$

$\because \: \frac{25}{40} > \frac{24}{40}$

Hence

$\frac{5}{8} > \frac{3}{5}$
