To compare the fractions, we have to convert them to the same denominator.

The least common factor between the denominators is 24. Therefore, we have to convert 5/8 to a fraction of denominator 24. In order to do that we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3. Doing so, the fractions turns into 15/24.

Now we can see that 15/24 is larger than 10/24, so, the answer is Yes, 5/8 is larger than 10/24.
