Question

Is the following statement true or false? 3/5<5/8

Answer 1

true

Answer 2

easiest way of figuring out...look at the decimal version of each fraction
and if not then find common denominators to see which is greater:\[{3\over5}={24\over40}~~~~~~~~and~~~~~~~~{5\over8}={25\over40}\]so now look at it:\[{24\over40}<{25\over8}~?\]

Answer 3

\[{25\over40}^*\]sorry

Answer 4

And that, is by far, the easiest way
