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 8 and 16:
LCD = LCM(8, 16) = 16
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (16):
10 is less than 13 (10 < 13)
As a result,
5/8
and 13/16
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 8 and 16:
LCD = LCM(8, 16) = 16
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (16):
5/8
= 10/16
and 13/16
= 13/16
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:10 is less than 13 (10 < 13)
As a result,
10/16
is less than 13/16
Therefore, 5/8
is less than 13/16
, 5/8
< 13/16
