Given Fractions:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 4 and 8:
LCD = LCM(4, 8) = 8
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (8):
4 is less than 5 (4 < 5)
As a result,
2/4
and 5/8
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 4 and 8:
LCD = LCM(4, 8) = 8
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (8):
2/4
= 4/8
and 5/8
= 5/8
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:4 is less than 5 (4 < 5)
As a result,
4/8
is less than 5/8
Therefore, 2/4
is less than 5/8
, 2/4
< 5/8
