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):
35 is greater than 32 (35 > 32)
As a result,
7/8
and 4/5
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):
7/8
= 35/40
and 4/5
= 32/40
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:35 is greater than 32 (35 > 32)
As a result,
35/40
is greater than 32/40
Therefore, 7/8
is greater than 4/5
, 7/8
> 4/5
