which fraction is bigger 5/8 6/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/8 because 6 is bigger than 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/8 because it takes less space in a pie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also because: 5 divided by 8 < 6 divided by 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Draw a pie and you will see it is 5/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a problem asap help[

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Maria_100 That would make 5/8 the smallest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, cause 5/8 takes up less space than 6/8 so that makes it bigger because it has more room

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

6/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the fraction that TAKES UP the most room is bigger.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rule #1 When two fractions have the same denominator, the bigger fraction is the one with the bigger numerator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a easier way to figure it out is changing the fractions into decimals 5/8 would be 0.625 and 6/8 will be 0.75 so 6/8 would be bigger because it has a bigger # as a decimal
