Question

Explain how you can find whether 5/6 or 5/8 is greater.​

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation:

you have to get a common denominator aka the bottom number so

8. 6

16. 12

24. 18

32. 24

40. 30

See how they both have a 24 so 5/6 you have to multiply it by 4 and 5/8 you have to multiply by 3 so now me have 20/6 and 15/24 as you can see 20 is bigger than 15 so 5/6 is bigger btw this is how you will have to do it in middle school so try to get used to it and also its kinda simple

Answer 2

5/6

Explanation:

5/6 is greater than 5/8 because if you draw out a rectangle and put six equal squares and shade it 5 times the same as the 5/8. 5/6 is greater.
