Question

which is bigger 5 by 8 or 3 by 5

Answer 1

we have, 5/8 and 3/5

5/8 is equivalent to 25/40
3/5 is equivalent to 24/40
 Here 25/40 > 24/40

therefore, 5/8 is greater than 3/5

Answer 2

Hi ,

5/8 = ( 5 × 5 / ( 8 × 5 ) = 25/40 ---( 1 )

3/5 = ( 3 × 8 ) / ( 5 × 8 ) = 24/40--( 2 )

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) , we conclude

that

25/40 > 24/40

5/8 > 3/5

I hope this helps you.
