Question

which one is larger 2/4 or 5/8

Answer 1

Make the bottom number (the denominator) the same, so that it should be easier to see which one is larger.

4 and 8 are both multiples of 8, so you can make the bottom number 8 by multiplying 4 by 2, and 8 by 1 (because it's already 8).

So that means you get 4/8 (because 2 times 2 is 4, and 4 times 2 is 8) and 5/8 (because 5 times 1 is 5 and 8 times 1 is 8).

So now that the fractions have the same bottom number, you can compare them easily.

The answer is 5/8, because now that the fractions are comparable, we can see that 5 is bigger than 4. :)

Answer 2

the eaisit way to see wich one is bigger,is to find a common demoninator

4

8

8 is your denominator

2x4=6
-
4x2=8

6/8, 5/8

so 2/4 would be bigger

hope i helped have a nice day
