Answer 1

`(7)/(10)\ge(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

To compare the numbers convert the fractions, find the common factor between 10, 8: 80.

Multiply by the same factor numerator and denominator to put it on the same denominator.

`\begin{gathered} (7\cdot8)/(10\cdot8)=(56)/(80)\text{ ; }(5\cdot10)/(8\cdot10)=(50)/(80) \\ \text{Then,} \\ (56)/(80)\ge(50)/(80) \end{gathered}`
