Answer:
>
Step-by-step explanation:
To compare the 2 fractions we require them to have a common denominator
The lowest common multiple of 5 and 8 is 40
Multiply the numerator/ denominator of the first fraction by 8
Multiply the numerator/ denominator of the second fraction by 5, that is
[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4(8)}{5(8)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{32}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3(5)}{8(5)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15}{40}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{40}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{15}{40}[/tex], hence
[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
