Answer:


(5)/(8)

is less smaller than


(5)/(6)

Explanation:

This is because of the denominator

When a denominator is bigger the another number it is smaller. For example


(5)/(12) \: and \: (5)/(3)

5/3 is bigger than 5/12

Hope this helps

Answer: 5/8 is less than 5/6. Because if the denominator is bigger, than it is really just smaller. Like 28/98 is greater than 110/112

Hope this helps.
