Firstly, convert both fractions to thesame denominations

Lowest common multiple of 8 and 6 = 24

[tex]\frac{5}{8}=\frac{\square}{24}\text{ and }\frac{5}{6}=\frac{\square}{24}[/tex]

filling in the boxes, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{8}=\frac{15}{24}\text{ and }\frac{5}{6}=\text{ }\frac{20}{24} \\ \\ \text{comaparing the numerators, 20 is geater than 15} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence 5/6 is greater than 5/8

The answer is YES
