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 5 and 8:
LCD = LCM(5, 8) = 40
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (40):
32 is less than 35 (32 < 35)
As a result,
4/5
and 7/8
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 5 and 8:
LCD = LCM(5, 8) = 40
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (40):
4/5
= 32/40
and 7/8
= 35/40
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:32 is less than 35 (32 < 35)
As a result,
32/40
is less than 35/40
Therefore, 4/5
is less than 7/8
, 4/5
< 7/8
