Hi friend,
Two compare two rational numbers , their denominator should be same
LCM of 5,8 is 40
3/5=3×8/5×8=24/40
5/8=5×5/8×5=25/40
so, clearly 5/8>3/5
I hope this will help u ;)

Hey there
3/5 and 5/8
As they both have different denominators, we need to take LCM before comparing them
LCM of 5 and 8
= 40
So
3/5 * 8/8 = 24/40
5/8 * 5/5 = 25/40
Therefore, 25/40 that is 5/8 is greater!
Hope this helps you
