Compare the fractions
3/4
and
5/8

Given Fractions:  
3/4
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):
3/4
=
6/8
  and  
5/8
=
5/8
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:
6 is greater than 5  (6 > 5)
As a result,  
6/8
  is greater than
5/8
Therefore,  
3/4
  is greater than
5/8
,  
3/4
>
5/8
