Hey there!


(5)/(8) = (5)/(8) = 0.625 \\ \\ \\ (4)/(3) = 1(1)/(3) = 1.3 \\ \\ \\ (5)/(8) \ \textless \ (4)/(3)

The bigger fraction is
(4)/(3)

Note: just simply the fractions that you are giving in "easier numbers" or "fractions"

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

in comparing 5/8 and 4/3, 4/3 is the greater number, for it is an improper fraction, and has a whole number

4/3 = 1.33 (rounded)
5/8 = 0.625

1.33 > 0.625 ∴ 4/3 is your answer

hope this helps
